Phase One of Re-Open Saskatchewan Begins May 4

May 4, 2020 | 10:11 AM

Today we begin cautiously and gradually re-opening some services to Saskatchewan residents but we should remember to continue practicing physical distancing and sanitary measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19.

You can read more about Re-Open Saskatchewan at www.saskatchewan.ca/government/health-care-administration-and-provider-resources/treatment-procedures-and-guidelines/emerging-public-health-issues/2019-novel-coronavirus/re-open-saskatchewan-plan.

The following recommendations should remain in place through all five phases:

• Protective measures for vulnerable populations.
• Individuals should continue working from home if they can do so effectively.
• Physical distancing must be maintained, wherever possible.
• People must stay at home when they are sick.
• Vulnerable individuals, such as seniors and those with underlying health conditions, should continue to exercise caution and minimize high-risk exposures, such as public outings.
• Personal hygiene will continue to be a key prevention measure.
• Enhanced cleaning and disinfection should take place in workplaces, public spaces and recreational facilities.
• Although the public health order regarding the size of gatherings does not apply to businesses and workplaces, they are expected to follow the recommended public health measures, including:
  • physical distancing for staff and clients;
  • regular cleaning and disinfection;
  • frequent handwashing and sanitizing;
  • use of PPE where available and appropriate; and
  • keeping staff who demonstrate or report COVID-19 symptoms out of the workplace.
• Long-term care and personal care homes must ensure that each staff member works in only one facility
