'The time for patience is now over': Sask. premier announces masking order, vaccination rules
CTV
Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe has announced an temporary indoor masking mandate that will come into force on Friday followed by a proof-of-vaccination policy.
In a video posted to Facebook Thursday morning, Moe said the fourth wave is "being driven almost entirely" by unvaccinated people.
"The choice to not get vaccinated is creating consequences for others and I would say very soon, it is going to create consequences for those who have made the decision to remain unvaccinated," Moe said.
Moe said a proof-of-vaccination policy will be implemented beginning Oct. 1 with the "interim" indoor masking measure likely lifted later in the month
"The time for patience is now over. The choice to not get vaccinated is not just affecting you, is now seriously impacting those who did do the right thing," Moe said.
