Sask. Premier defends plan to end COVID-19 vaccine, proof of negative test mandate – CBC
Provincial mask mandate remains in effect until Feb. 28
Feb 14, 2022
One of the few remaining health orders meant to curb the spread of COVID-19 will be removed by the province on Monday, leading organizations including schools, businesses and city governments to reevaluate their own policies.
On Tuesday, the Saskatchewan government announced it would remove the remaining public health orders including the proof-of-vaccination or proof-of-negative-COVID-19 test requirement. The last public health measures will be lifted on Feb. 28, meaning people will no longer be required to self-isolate after testing positive for the virus or wear a mask in indoor public spaces.
City councillors in both Regina and Saskatoon have voted to end their proof-of-vaccination requirement in civic facilities.
The two cities differ on masking protocols: Regina city councillors chose to end theirs in a tight 6-4 vote, while the City of Saskatoon will continue theirs in leisure centres, city-owned rinks and on Saskatoon Transit.
