Saskatchewan to release plan on lifting COVID-19 public health orders, premier says

REGINA — Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says he will likely lay out the province's plan Tuesday to lift or reduce its remaining public health orders surrounding COVID-19.

Moe told the John Gormley radio talk show today the province's plan will chart a course forward over the next few weeks.

The province's public health orders include a mask mandate, a requirement to self-isolate if you test positive for COVID-19 and a proof of vaccination or negative test to enter most establishments.

They are set to expire at the end of February.

Moe says with hospitalizations rapidly declining, the province is heading toward a position where people can manage COVID-19 on their own by getting vaccinated, taking rapid tests and accessing antibody treatments.

Following a council of federation meeting last week with other Canadian premiers, Moe says many provinces are having this discussion, not just Saskatchewan.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Feb. 7, 2022.
