Saskatchewan Health Authority has lifted the restrictions in place since Oct. 6 for face-to-face, in-home, in-office meetings and transportation in Yorkton and area, and we can now see each other again in person.
SIGN is back to providing in-person services using masks, hand hygiene, intensive sanitization of spaces, spacing of two meters, screening questions and temperature checks. Screening questions will now include asking if someone has been in an outbreak area as listed on the Saskatchewan government website in the past 14 days. If so, the meeting or visit must be postponed.
If it is an emergency and the individual must be seen in-person and answers yes to the outbreak question, staff will wear a gown, goggles, gloves and mask for the entire visit. Otherwise the same precautions as were in place before Oct. 6 will be followed.
