Saskatchewan Health Minister Paul Merriman says now is the time for residents, businesses and organizations to re-commit to proven public health measures and return to the standards shown to work in the Re-Open Saskatchewan plan.  He says he’s not going to sugar coat the situation, it’s not great and it’s been getting worse adding this threat is very real but he believes they can get it under control if they do the right things stating Saskatchewan we have done this before and I believe we can do it again.
