Today’s case numbers are very concerning. Our 7-day average for new cases is now 203 - the highest it& #39;s ever been.

While it’s too soon for the new measures implemented last week to have made an impact, we& #39;re continuing to evaluate the situation & will consider further measures.

Our government is working closely with Dr. Shahab and public health officials and will have more to say early next week.

For now, let’s all do our part to keep ourselves and those around us safe.

Reduce your number of contacts and your activity outside the home. If you do go out, wear a mask, which is now required in all indoor public places everywhere in Saskatchewan.

Physically distance, wash your hands often, stay home when you can. We can keep ourselves and those around us safe and reduce the spread of COVID-19 by taking these steps.
