Premier Scott Moe announced on Monday the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) will be reopening eight more of the converted rural emergency rooms starting June 12.

The first of the next batch to reopen will be Kerrobert on June 12, followed by Leader and Arcola on June 16. Preeceville will reopen June 18, followed by Biggar and Oxbow on June 22. Davidson will be June 24 and Herbert will follow on June 25.

Moe said the SHA is continuing to work on emergency room resumption planning for the four 聽remaining community hospitals in Broadview, Radville, Lanigan and Wolseley.

鈥淲e are working very diligently to ensure the remaining emergency rooms open as quickly as possible, as the other four have some additional ongoing staffing issues that are unrelated to COVID-19,鈥� said Moe.

鈥淭he SHA is working to ensure those are resolved,鈥� he added.

A media release sent out by the province said the dates of reopening are subject to change, guided by the current status of active COVID-19 positive cases, and the ability to meet all required safety criteria and human resourcing requirements needed.

Moe also announced that outdoor playgrounds and beaches will join Phase Three of the province鈥檚 Re-Open Saskatchewan plan starting June 12.

Guidelines for the reopening of outdoor playgrounds will include compliance with public gathering restrictions, practising proper hygiene, no sharing of toys or equipment between groups and the understanding that everyone attending must follow the province鈥檚 public health orders.

The guidelines also said people not from the same household or extended household should remain at least two metres apart at all times and limit gatherings with other people when entering and leaving the park.

Additionally, mask use is not required but the province said non-medical masks are an additional measure the public can take.

The guidelines set out for the reopening of beaches are in line with the outdoor playgrounds with the additions of bringing your own picnic table covers, cleaning and hand hygiene supplies and other personal items.

Additionally, outdoor shower facilities are permitted but indoor shower and change facilities will remain closed. The province also said there will be no beach events permitted until further notice.

鈥淗opefully it鈥檚 a great weekend so that families can enjoy some time at the beach or some time at the playground,鈥� said Moe.

Additionally, as of Monday, Phase Three has officially started which includes the reopening of restaurants and licensed establishments at 50 per cent capacity, personal care services that were not included in Phase Two along with gyms and other facilities.
