Saskatoon extends mask mandate, alcohol curfew and schools move to level 3 -

Saskatchewan has extended the mask mandate to include Saskatchewan communities with a population of more than 5,000 – and smaller neighboring communities – as part of a list of new COVID-19 restrictions.

The province has also put a curfew on alcohol sales at 10 PM which will last for the next 28 days. It is also recommended that some schools move to level three of the back-to-school plan.

The province has also updated the Reopen Saskatchewan Plan with changes for fitness facilities and hookah services. These changes are effective on Monday, November 16, 2020.

Saskatchewan’s mandatory mask order for indoor public spaces has been extended to include all communities with populations of 5,000 or greater. The order also includes the census metropolitan area, situated around the urban centers of Saskatoon, Regina, and Prince Albert, even if their populations are less than 5,000 residents.

The province is also recommending school divisions reducing in-class learning for some high schools. High schools with 600 or more will be moving to level three of the province’s Safe School’s plan.
