The Saskatchewan government has outlined a five-phase plan to reopen parts of the province’s economy during the COVID-19 crisis.

Premier Scott Moe says restrictions will first be lifted starting May 4 for dentist offices, optometry clinics and physical therapy providers.

Golf courses are to reopen on May 15 and retail shops selling clothing, books, flowers and sporting goods might be allowed to open their doors on May 19.

Hairdressers and barbers could also start seeing clients again on May 19, but employees working directly with the public would have to wear masks.
