Doctor Saquib Shahab will be holding a news conference at 2.30pm.
Now we know why public health sent that reminder out.
There is a community outbreak in Saskatoon.
Stems from a private, family gathering that was above the gathering size allowed.
It is under investigation, but it is believed it is contained.

Dr Shahab doesn't have the details of the investigation and what they know so far.
He thinks it was an outside BBQ, something like that.
He's reminding people this is "not business as usual".
We have to constant reminding ourselves of the risk and make choices to minimise it.
