Saskatchewan may lift some COVID-19 restrictions as spring nears: top doctor

REGINA – Saskatchewan’s top doctor says the province is considering whether to lift some of its COVID-19 measures as spring nears.

Dr. Saqib Shahab says conversations are ongoing with government officials about what public health orders are still needed as society learns to live with the virus.

He adds that there needs to be a long-term plan in place as the pandemic will soon be entering its third year in Canada.

Premier Scott Moe told the John Gormley talk radio show today that some restrictions have run their course and Saskatchewan’s goal is to remove all restrictions when it is able.
