Sask. Premier Moe announces mandatory masking and proof of vaccination policies
CBC
Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe has announced the province will implement mandatory masking, a proof of vaccination policy and a requirement for government employees to get vaccinated or receive negative tests.
Moe made the announcement in a video posted on his social media account Thursday morning.
The provincial mask policy will apply to all public indoor spaces. It begins Friday and the province has a target of lifting it in late October.
The proof of vaccination policy will start Oct. 1 and will apply to establishments, businesses and event venues.
"Unfortunately today we are faced with a fourth wave," Moe said in the video.
He said the wave was being driven "overwhelmingly" by unvaccinated people.
"We have been very patient — possibly too patient — but the time for patience is over."
