This includes physical distancing to maintain a two-metre separation at all times, following one way directions in stores, frequent hand washing and sanitizing, self-isolating which means not going out to public places if sick.

It is also recommended to adh​​​ere to public health orders and municipal government guidelines, including limiting your social circles, travel restrictions and not attending large gatherings.

COVID-19 is still present in Saskatchewan and we all have a responsibility to minimize the spread of the disease.
