Saskatchewan Day - August Long Weekend

While Saskatchewan summers are short and our few long weekends are precious, plan for a safe August long weekend.

Plan activities with families or individuals in your extended household group, visit greenspaces in and around your community or beat the heat by checking out one of the many great Saskatchewan lakes.

Whatever your long weekend plans, remember that public health orders remain in place to prevent transmission of COVID-19.

Continue to practice preventative measures:

鈥⒙犅犅犅犅犅� Wash your hands frequently.

鈥⒙犅犅犅犅犅� Practice physical distancing of two metres.

鈥⒙犅犅犅犅犅� Wear a mask in settings where physical distancing cannot be maintained.

鈥⒙犅犅犅犅犅� Limit contacts outside your home to your extended household group.

鈥⒙犅犅犅犅犅� Stay home if you are sick.

There may be social or peer pressure to attend events that you feel pose an unacceptable amount of risk to you and your family.聽 Decisions not to attend are your own, and are not cause for ridicule or shame.聽 Family and friends should understand and respect measures that people are taking to stay healthy and prevent the spread of COVID-19.

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 Saskatchewan Health Authority is working to ensure responsive service timing.聽 Contact your physician鈥檚 office if you are experiencing worsening symptoms.聽 If you require urgent care, call 911.
