Saskatchewan residents no longer have to wear masks at stores and indoor public places in the province, but that doesn’t mean that people are ready to give up their face coverings.
Gisele Poirier, a Regina resident, said she will continue to wear a mask when she finds it necessary, however, she thinks now is the right time for the mandate to be dropped. Poirier said people can make up their minds for themselves going forward.
“I think it’s time, I think that COVID is basically done now, and it’s really up to us on a personal level just to take care of ourselves. If we don’t feel comfortable, wear a mask, wash your hands. We know how to do this,” said Poirier.
Saskatchewan dropped its health restrictions effective Monday, including a requirement to wear a mask indoors.
