City of Meadow Lake COVID-19 precautions

Meadow Lake facilities remain open amid COVID-19 spread

Mar 13, 2020 | 5:14 PM

The City of Meadow Lake is working on precautionary measures to combat the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as Saskatchewan confirmed its second presumptive case.

City manager, Diana Burton told meadowlakeNOW in an email, the city will not be closing or reducing access to any facilities yet.

“We have directed rental groups to the Health Canada risk assessment guide for large public gatherings, as each event is unique in its risk level,” she said. “We will not be penalizing and will refund deposits for any groups who choose to cancel or reschedule their events due to concerns over the virus.”

In a press release issued today, the City of Meadow Lake said it is committed to working with the Saskatchewan Health Authority to ensure the community is as prepared as possible to respond to the rapidly changing COVID-19 pandemic.

“We have drafted a pandemic response plan, which is pending ratification by city council, and all city departments are preparing to ensure essential services will still be delivered regardless of the pandemic situation. The city recommends the public practice good hygiene, including the washing or sanitizing of hands thoroughly.”

If you are showing symptoms of the virus (fever, cough, difficulty breathing), call the provincial health line at 811 and limit your exposure to other people.

The city will continue to operate as normal, including continuing to operate all municipal facilities. The public will be notified immediately if circumstances change.
