Increased exposure

SHA warning of increased exposure in Wakaw and Rosthern

Sep 10, 2021 | 11:37 AM

The Saskatchewan Health Authority is warning of increased exposure risk to COVID-19 in the communities of Rosthern and Wakaw.

Residents around the province are being strongly urged to wear a mask and keep distance from others, especially those that are unvaccinated.

Visitor restrictions have been implemented at the Rosthern Hospital and Lakeview Pioneer Lodge in Wakaw. The two facilities are moving to level three restrictions.

The SHA is reminding the public that the decision to restrict family presence is not taken lightly. The measures are in place to keep you, your loved ones, and health-care workers safe.

Sask. residents that are 12 years of age and older are encouraged to get their vaccinations as COVID-19 variants continue to develop and spread and are more transmissible than the initial COVID-19 virus.
