Bored of COVID? COVID Doesn鈥檛 Care

It has been more than four months since COVID-19 arrived in Saskatchewan.聽 It鈥檚 understandable that many people are tired or frustrated with the continued state of cautiousness.聽 If you are feeling well or don鈥檛 know anyone who has gotten sick, it is easy to think that you do not need to be careful.聽 However, the recent surge in COVID-19 in all regions of Saskatchewan shows that we cannot become complacent.聽 There is no region in Saskatchewan without active cases.聽 Personal protective measures protect you, your friends and family.

For the health and safety of your community, act as if there is a risk of coming into contact with COVID-19 anytime you go in public or meet with friends.聽 We have seen from our past case numbers that Saskatchewan residents know what needs to be done to reduce transmission: wash your hands often, keep gatherings small and with the same group of people, maintain a physical distance of two metres and wear a mask anywhere where you cannot maintain physical distancing.聽 We all have a responsibility to follow these guidelines.聽 If we all do our part to keep ourselves and others safe, we will be able to slow the spread of COVID-19 in Saskatchewan again.

COVID-19 Testing

COVID-19 testing is now available to anyone who requests it, regardless of whether they have symptoms or not.聽 A referral for testing can be made by contacting HealthLine 811.

Since introducing universal testing, there has been an increase in requests to be tested with the corresponding increase in provincial testing numbers.聽 The SHA is working to ensure responsive service timing.聽 If you are experiencing worsening symptoms, contact your physician鈥檚 office.聽 If you require urgent care, call 911.
