Saskatchewan’s COVID plan for remaining health orders expected Tuesday

Feb 7, 2022 | 11:34 AM

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says he will likely lay out tomorrow the province’s plan to lift or reduce its remaining COVID-19 public health orders.

Moe tells the John Gormley radio show that since COVID-19 hospitalizations are starting to drop significantly, it’s time the province presents a plan to remove measures.

Starting today, the province is limiting PCR testing to priority populations only, and has stopped reporting daily COVID-19 data, which will be published weekly instead.

Moe says moving forward people need to self-manage COVID-19 by getting vaccinated, use rapid tests and antiviral treatments.
