Covid-19 Pandemic

Know Your Risks

When in doubt about what rules to follow, use the safest rules that might apply to keep your risk low:

  • Wash your hands frequently
  • Stay at home when you can.
  • Limit the number of people you meet in person.
  • Keep 2 metres physical distance from others.
  • Wear a mask and do not participate in activities that would require you to take off your mask.
  • The virus can infect anyone and does not always cause obvious symptoms. Do not "relax the rules" for anyone outside your household, even if they are family members, friends, or co-workers.
  • Stay home is you are ill.

Things you can do to keep yourself and others safe: Wearing a mask is one of the best ways to prevent the transmission of COVID-19.

  • Carry a mask with you when you are outside your household. If you are in a situation where you cannot maintain a 2-meter distance, wear it. You cannot always predict when you will find yourself in a crowd where you cannot maintain a 2-meter distance from others.
  • Wear a mask in any outdoor environment where you cannot maintain a 2-meter distance from others.
  • Avoid sharing food, drinks, or other items that touch your face (e.g. cigarettes, vapes) with people outside your household. These are common ways to spread COVID-19.
  • Avoid doing activities with people from outside your household if you need to remove your mask.
  • Avoid standing or sitting close to people outside your household. The closer together you are, and the more time you spend within 2 meters of others, the higher the risk of catching or spreading COVID-19, especially when you are indoors. Always stay 2 meters apart.

  • Directors ensure that every employee performs a daily health check before entering their place of work.
  • Health checks are mandatory self-assessments conducted by the employee and this includes confirming with their employer, in written or verbal format, that they have reviewed the complete list of entry requirements (included on this and that none of the prohibited criteria apply to them.
  • If the employee does not pass, they must NOT enter the workplace. They must return home and use The Government of Saskatchewan assessment tools, call 811, follow any public health advice they have been given and notify their Director with the results.
