Saskatchewan extends public health orders, stops short of bringing in new measures

REGINA – Public health orders in Saskatchewan, which were set to expire at the end of the month, are being extended to the end of February.

They include mandatory masking in all indoor public spaces, mandatory self-isolation for a positive COVID-19 test and proof of vaccination or negative test to enter some venues and businesses.

Premier Scott Moe made the announcement Wednesday, but stopped short of bringing in measures around gathering sizes.

He says lockdown policies are an infringement on rights and freedoms.
