The COVID-19 pandemic in Saskatchewan is an ongoing viral pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a novel infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). As of May 12, 2020, 37,695 tests have been conducted, with 573 confirmed cases, 374 recoveries, and 6 deaths in Saskatchewan.[1]

A provincial state of emergency was declared on March 18, and the province began to institute mandatory closures of non-essential facilities and lines of business over the days that followed. By early April, the number of new cases within Saskatchewan began to trend downwards; on April 6, the number of new recoveries began to regularly equal or exceed the number of new cases, which also began to steadily drop. On April 23, the province unveiled a plan to gradually begin lifting economic restrictions on May 4, although restrictions on larger public gatherings, school closures, and self-isolation following travel will remain in force for the foreseeable future.

In late-April, La Loche became the epicentre of a major outbreak in northwest Saskatchewan, believed to have been imported from northern Alberta; the majority of new cases have been within the "Far North" zone, which contains La Loche and many other remote and First Nations communities. On May 7, the area overtook the Saskatoon zone as having the largest number of total cases to-date out of all six Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) reporting regions.

Timeline

Saskatchewan's Chief Medical Officer Saqib Shahab announced the first presumptive case of in the province on March 12, a person in their 60s that had recently returned from Egypt, who was tested on March 9, and was in self-isolation at their home.[2] By March 16, the number of presumptive cases in the province had increased to seven.[3] On March 17, one new case was reported.[4] On the same day, the College of Dental Surgeons of Saskatchewan recommended that those who attended the 2020 Pacific Dental Conference in Vancouver to self-isolate after many cases, including two in Saskatchewan, were linked to the event.[5]

On March 18, 8 new cases were reported.[6] On March 19, four new cases were reported, bringing the provincial total to 20.[7] On March 20, six new cases were reported, and 8 were confirmed.[8] On March 21, 18 new cases were reported,[9] including 11 healthcare workers who attended a physicians' bonspiel at a curling club in Edmonton from March 11 to 14.[10] The index case was reported to be a physician from Saskatchewan who had contracted COVID-19 in Las Vegas.[11][12][13] On March 23, 14 new cases were reported, and only one was still presumptive.[14] On March 24, six new confirmed cases were reported, totalling 72 confirmed cases. This includes four cases thought to possibly be the result of community transmission, pending a full investigation.[15] Another new 14 cases were announced on March 25. On March 26 and 27, 9 new cases were reported each.[16][17]

On March 28, Saskatchewan announced the largest single-day increase in cases, at 30. The spike, especially in northern and central Saskatchewan, was attributed to 18 cases involving attendees of a snowmobile rally in Christopher Lake on March 14.[18][19] The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) initially announced two positive cases (including a participant, and a server at an associated dinner) on March 25, and has advised self-isolation for anyone who had attended.[20][21]

On March 30, the confirmed case count rose to 176, and Saskatchewan also reported its first deaths from COVID-19. Both people were in their 70s and were from separate parts of the province.[22]

April 2020 drop in cases

By April 6, Saskatchewan had 253 cases and 81 recoveries. For the first time, the number of new recoveries (14) exceeded the number of new cases (4).[23] On April 8, the SHA released its preliminary modelling data, which had projected "low" and "upper-range" scenarios with between 153,000 and 408,000 cases respectively, and 3,075 to 8,370 deaths respectively.[24][25]

Seven new cases and recoveries were announced the next day.[26] The total number of cases continued to rise, reaching 289 on April 11, though the remaining active cases fell to 138—dropping for the first time below the number of recoveries (which rose to 147).[27] On April 13, Saskatchewan reported 14 recoveries and two new cases (totalling 300).[28][29] The next day, only one new case was reported, and nine new recoveries.[30]

On April 17, Shahab announced that the province was monitoring cases tied to long-term care facilities, including an "outbreak situation" in La Loche, a second staff member of one in Regina testing positive, and three residents of said home with symptoms (which later tested negative).[31][32] On April 21, health officer for North Saskatchewan Rim Zayed stated that the cases in La Loche were "under control".[33] The SHA announced plans to release updated modelling.[25]

On April 23, Premier Scott Moe gave a televised address (the first such address by the Premier of Saskatchewan since Roy Romanow's tenure), announcing that the province had "flattened the curve", and that he and Shahab would unveil a five-stage process to "gradually and methodically" restore normal commerce and services. He explained that the province had to balance the risks of doing so too quickly (which could cause the virus to spread again), and doing so too slowly (which could cause "permanent damage to the livelihoods of thousands of Saskatchewan people"), and that the province was "looking at ways to increase testing and contact tracing in the days ahead".[34][35][25] Moe also stated that Saskatchewan was 70% below the national average of cases per-province, and hospitalizations and deaths were 90% below average.[34]

Outbreak in Northern Saskatchewan

In late-April, the outbreak in La Loche began to intensify, with a major spike in active cases in the "Far North" zone (Division No. 18).[36][37] On April 24, Saskatchewan saw its largest number of new cases since April 8, with 10 (offset by 10 recoveries). In response to the outbreak, Premier Moe stated that despite its overall progress, the province "can expect to experience isolated outbreaks such as this".[36] On April 27, the province announced twelve new cases and a fifth death—an 83-year-old man who was a resident of a long-term care home in La Loche. All but one of the new cases were situated in the Far North zone. The region's health officer Rim Zayed stated that almost all of the 29 new cases in La Loche had been traced to a case from northern Alberta.[38][39]

Ryan Meili, leader of the opposition Saskatchewan NDP, called for more action to be taken in the northern region, including "mobiliz[ing] the resources necessary to test everyone in La Loche and Clearwater River Dene Nation". Tracy Zambory, head of the Saskatchewan Union of Nurses, similarly argued that "we're expecting a population that hasn't gotten much help in the past to suddenly understand and follow all these rules".[39]

The SHA released updated modelling on April 28, estimating an effective reproduction number of 0.7 per-case, with the estimated total cases reduced to 254,756, and 3,050 deaths.[40] The next day, Saskatchewan announced 17 new cases, and one new death in the Far North region. Eleven of the new cases are situated in La Loche, and four in Lloydminster — tied to a cluster of 13 at Lloydminster Hospital.[41][42] Moe therefore announced that both cities would be excluded from the first phase of the lifting of economic restrictions (Re-Open Saskatchewan) on May 4.[43] Although the outbreak was declared the prior Sunday, it was not publicly announced until three days later; Medical Health Officer of the North zone Mandiangu Nsungu explained that "the hope is always that you will control the situation because there is also a balance between sending an alarm to the community too soon. You have to balance that with the negative impact that may result in terms of panic. You have to find the right time to make that announcement in such a way that you actually do not panic the population for not much benefit."[44]

On May 1, Saskatchewan surpassed 400 cases in total with its largest single-day increase since March 28, with 19 in the Far North zone and four in the North zone within the Lloydminster area.[45] An outbreak was also declared at Victoria Hospital in Prince Albert, due to a patient having been there for multiple days for unrelated procedures before testing positive on April 30. A previous test and verbal assessment upon the patient's arrival on April 21 had come back negative. There was no evidence of transmission within the hospital.[46] An outbreak was also declared in Beauval, Saskatchewan.[47] 12 new cases were reported on May 3.[48]

On May 4, the province announced 34 new confirmed cases—its largest single-day increase in cases to-date, with all but five being within the Far North zone. Premier Moe cited the increased number as evidence that "increased testing in that area is working". SHA CEO Scott Livingstone stated that the positive case at Victoria Hospital was tied to La Loche.[49]

On May 5, Chief Public Health Officer of Canada Theresa Tam stated that the outbreak in North Saskatchewan was "of concern", due to its remote communities and indigenous populations.[50] 20 new cases were announced, with 18 in the Far North zone, all primarily confined to the northwest (with 5 in La Loche). Due to an employee testing positive, an outbreak was declared at a dairy factory in the Saskatoon zone.[51] 25 new cases were announced the next day, surpassing 500 in total. All but 3 are in La Loche. A staff member at Meadow Lake Hospital also tested positive.[52]

On May 7, the outbreak at Lloydminster Hospital was deemed stable, and the city was given clearance to enter phase one of the Re-Open Saskatchewan plan on May 11.[53] With 15 new cases, the Far North zone surpassed the Saskatoon zone as having the most individual cases out of all regions defined by the SHA.[54] On May 9, the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority suspended all alcohol sales and distribution in La Loche for two weeks in order to discourage gatherings.[55]

Provincial government response

Citing concerns over the potential of an impending outbreak in the province, Premier Scott Moe announced on March 12 that he would not pursue a snap provincial election. Saskatchewan's next general election is scheduled for October 26, 2020.[56]

On March 13, following the second presumptive case in the province, the Saskatchewan government announced restrictions on gatherings of more than 250 people in contiguous indoor space, as well as gatherings of more than 50 people if they include participants who had recently travelled internationally.[57][58] Exceptions are permitted for retail shops.[59][60] An exception for faith-based organizations was removed March 16.[59] The government sharply reduced inter-provincial and international travel by any provincial employees on government business. It also provided that provincial employees who have travelled outside the country, whether on government business or personal travel, must self-isolate for 14 days upon their return.[60]

On March 17, the government announced that it was delaying the introduction of the provincial budget, because the government revenue forecasts underlying it were no longer reliable, in light of the current situation. The Government would announce the planned spending, including for the health care sector, which would see an increase in funding.[61] The same day, the Legislature passed amendments to provincial employment law, to provide unpaid job security to employees during the pandemic. The amendments passed with the support of both parties.[62] The next day, the Legislature adjourned its spring sitting, with the consent of the Opposition.[63]

Saskatchewan declared a provincial state of emergency on March 18, which included plans for shifting all provincial government entities and crown corporations to remote work by March 23, authorizing the SHA to "redeploy nurses and other staff and ensure medical supplies and personal protective equipment are available when needed and reduce risk of further exposure to our care providers and patients", and advising against non-essential travel outside of the province.[64][65][66] The province also began to institute restrictions on non-essential commerce, and banned gatherings of more than 50 people.[64][66]

On March 20, Premier Moe signed an order making public health orders issued pursuant to the state of emergency enforceable under provincial law. Law enforcement agencies, including the RCMP, have the authority to enforce these measures under penalties of fines or arrest. Individuals may be fined $2,000, and businesses $10,000.[67][68] All gatherings of 25 people or more were prohibited beginning March 23, unless all patrons were capable of maintaining a distance of 2 metres from each other.[69][70][71] On March 26, all gatherings were limited to 10 people.[72][73]

On April 1, the state of emergency was extended through April 15.[74] It has since been extended through May 27.[75] On April 18, the province released guidelines on the conduction of drive-in church services.[76]

Closures

Saskatchewan ordered the closure of all fitness facilities, casinos, and bingo halls on March 20 (all provincial casinos had already announced their closure two days earlier, in advance of the mandate).[77][64][65][66] Since March 23, all restaurants, bars, and nightclubs have been restricted to take-out and/or delivery service only. Bars and nightclubs can only offer take-out if customers are capable of maintaining a distance of 2 metres from each other. All art galleries, museums, and other recreational, entertainment, and personal service facilities were ordered closed, and certain types of medical clinics (chiropractors, dentists, optometrists, podiatrists, and registered massage therapists) were restricted to non-elective appointments only.[69][70][71]

On March 26, Saskatchewan ordered the closure of all "non-allowable business services" to the public. Examples of "non-allowable business services" include but are not limited to ATV, boat, and snowmobile retailers, clothing, shoe, accessory, and jewellery stores, electronics, entertainment, and toy stores, flower shops, book, gift, and stationery stores, sporting goods stores, pawn shops, and travel agencies.[72]

School closures

The University of Regina and University of Saskatchewan voluntarily suspended in-person classes on March 16, and switched to online courses for the remainder of the semester.[78][79]

On March 16, the province announced that all public schools would "wind down" over the week, and close indefinitely on March 20. Final grades will be issued based on existing progress, and eligible Grade 12 students will be able to graduate.[80][81] Daycares have been capped at 8 children per teacher, and school-based facilities have been reserved for the children of essential service and health care workers.[71][82] Opposition Leader Meili criticized the approach, arguing that the children of health care workers mixed with others could spread COVID-19 among families.[82]

On May 7, the Saskatchewan Ministry of Education stated that "in-class learning will not resume for the remainder of the school year."[83]

Travel advisories and restrictions

Non-essential travel outside of the province has been discouraged, except for those commuting for work out-of-province (particularly in border communities).[64][66]

Effective March 20, residents returning from any international travel (excluding essential travellers such as working crews, transport workers and health care workers),[69] those who have tested positive for COVID-19,[84] and those identified as recent contacts of someone who had tested positive, are required by law to self-isolate for 14 days, with those breaking quarantine subject to a $2,000 fine.[69] Premier Moe cited concerns over those not following its previous self-isolation recommendations as justification for the legal measure.[71] This also became a federal requirement under the Quarantine Act effective March 26.[85]

On April 18, citing reports of cases linked to the Kearl Oil Sands Project near Fort McMurray, Alberta,[86] the SHA instituted an advisory against non-essential travel between Northwest Saskatchewan and Northern Alberta, and began recommending self-isolation for those returning from inter-provincial travel between the areas.[87]

On April 24, due to an increasing number of cases in the zone, Premier Moe announced that non-essential travel into or from the Northern Saskatchewan Administration District (NSAD) would be restricted, enforced by checkpoints along highways leading into the zone. Residents of the area were also advised to avoid non-essential travel between communities.[88][37]

On April 30, Saskatchewan issued a public health order hardening its travel restrictions for the NSAD; persons who have a primary residence are in the NSAD may no longer enter the area. In addition, residents of the NSAD were ordered to practice appropriate social distancing and remain within their communities (with exceptions only for medical needs and grocery shopping). It was also stated that those travelling to and from the communities of La Ronge and Stony Rapids would be granted an exception to the travel ban, but they were forbidden from stopping in any other community within the NSAD.[82][89] La Ronge councilor Jordan McPhail stated on May 3 that the town would request its removal from the exemption, arguing that it created a loophole.[90] Both exemptions were removed on May 6.[52]

Health care

On April 15, the SHA began to mandate that employees of all of its facilities wear masks and undergo twice-daily temperature checks. An online self-screening website was established to provide guidance to employees before they begin their shifts.[91] Effective April 28, employees of long-term care facilities are cohorted, and are prohibited from working at more than one facility in order to prevent spread. Individual facilities may be exempted by request if they are deemed unable to maintain adequate staff.[92][93]

As of April 28, there are 50 testing sites in Saskatchewan.[40] Officials stated that Saskatchewan has had the second-largest number of tests performed per-capita among all provinces.[94][95] On April 9, it was announced that the lab had processed over 1,000 in 24 hours.[96] On April 13, Premier Moe announced that the province had begun to deploy around twelve mobile testing machines, beginning in Meadow Lake and Prince Albert, to allow tests to be processed on-site in around four hours. Moe stated that the province aimed to perform 1,500 tests per-day by the end of April.[97] Following their approval by Health Canada, the province purchased new rapid testing kits by the Ottawa-based Spartan Bioscience. However on May 3, these kits were voluntarily recalled by the company after being restricted to research use only by Health Canada, due to "concerns regarding the efficacy of the proprietary swab".[98][99]

By late-April, the amount of testing performed began to decline; SHA CEO Scott Livingstone stated on April 22 that they were "just not seeing people show up with symptoms of COVID-19", and there had also been a decline in calls to HealthLine 811. Despite this, Livingstone did state that their overall testing capacity had surpassed the previously-stated target of 1,500 per-day.[25][100]

On April 28, the SHA announced that it would expand its testing to include more involving asymptomatic patients.[40] This will also include testing of long-term care and personal care residents upon admission and readmission.[101]

Phase-out of economic restrictions

On April 13, amidst the number of new cases trending downward, Premier Moe announced that he would begin consultations with the Chief Medical Officer on plans to gradually restore normal commerce and services, with plans to release more information as early as the following week if new cases in Saskatchewan remain steady. He warned that these proposals would depend on a "comprehensive and robust testing and contact tracing plan", and that this would have to be done in a cautious manner, since "there is no magic switch that we can flip that sends everything back to normal overnight", and "we may not be able to move on some areas for a number of months, or until we get a vaccine", since the province was "only one outbreak away from interrupting those numbers".[28][29]

The province unveiled its "Re-Open Saskatchewan" plan on April 23, which consists of five phases with a gradual lifting of economic restrictions, and guidelines for specific industries to implement as the phases progress.[102][103][104] All phases are subject to continued practice of social distancing and enhanced cleaning protocols, and restrictions on larger public gatherings, visitation of long-term care facilities, visitation of SHA facilities for non-compassionate reasons, mandatory self-isolation after international travel, and the closure of schools, which will remain in force indefinitely.[102][103][104]

Recommendations regarding personal hygiene, cleaning and disinfection protocols by businesses and public venues (especially on high-touched surfaces), use of protective equipment where applicable, remote work whenever possible, advisories against non-essential travel outside of Saskatchewan (including within Canada), and protective measures for vulnerable populations, will also remain.[102][103][104]

The resumption of procedures at SHA facilities are on a separate timetable:[105] on May 5, the SHA announced a four-phase plan to begin May 19, beginning with the increasing availability of primary care, surgeries, and diagnostic imaging.[106]

New cases, infection patterns (including management of cases imported from outside of the province), and the efficiency of contact tracing will be monitored by the government. The timetable for entry into phases 3, 4, and 5 will be dependent on the performance of the first two, and the province may roll back these decisions if needed.[104][103][102]

Reception

Zambory deemed Moe's initial announcement on April 13 to be premature; she argued that it could encourage residents to stop practising social distancing or remaining at home, which could potentially lead to renewed spread.[107] Following the unveiling, Zambory was more positive towards the plan, stated that "there's no reason reopening the economy and keeping people in Saskatchewan safe from COVID-19 can't go in tandem", but displayed a continued concern that residents were "going to get far too comfortable and start forgetting all the good rules that we've worked so hard on."[108] Opposition Leader Meili supported the announced plan, but called for more financial support to be provided to "support communities, individuals and families" impacted by the pandemic and business closures, and criticized Moe's optimistic declaration from his address as "pretend[ing] that this is over", as well as a lack of consultation with Saskatchewan's First Nations communities and other provinces over the plan.[109]

Child care services cannot expand their capacity until phase 3, which faced criticism from Meili for potentially affecting the ability for parents to return to work in phase 2.[110] Premier Moe stated that this was "an ongoing conversation that we can have as we phase into these different approaches to ensure that people not only have the opportunity to go back to work but have the opportunity to access child care for their children."[111] On April 28, it was announced that it would provide space at school-based child care facilities for the children of workers of businesses reopened in phase 1 and 2 of the plan.[82]

Concerns were raised over the impact of the La Loche outbreak on the plans; on April 27, Premier Moe described this as an isolated outbreak and not "throughout the North", but Zambory still showed concerns, stating that "it really is scary now that we're starting to really become overly comfortable".[39] On April 29, Moe officially announced that La Loche, as well as Lloydminster (due to an outbreak recently detected in the area), would be excluded from the implementation of phase 1 at this time.[43] On May 7, it was announced that Lloydminster would be allowed to enter phase 1 on May 11.[53]

Local responses

Prior to the announcement of Saskatchewan's first presumptive case, the 2020 Juno Awards in Saskatoon were cancelled by their organizers on March 12.[112][113]

On March 18, a Sangster's health store in Lawson Heights, Saskatoon was closed after multiple visits by a customer who stated that she had recently returned from international travel to Hawaii, and that multiple passengers on the flight had felt ill. The store's local owner criticized the customer for breaking recommended self-quarantine, even though she had displayed no symptoms herself.[114]

On March 20, Regina Transit and Saskatoon Transit suspended fares for all bus service, but with reduced service.[115][116][117]

In early April, Restaurants Canada reported that 25,000 restaurant jobs have been lost in Saskatchewan since March 1. It also reported that approximately 10% of restaurants in Canada have closed permanently, and estimated that another 18% would close if the situation has not changed in a month's time. Local restaurant operators expressed concerns whether they would be able to re-open.[118]

In April, a Real Canadian Superstore in Regina,[119] as well as McDonald's locations in Regina[120] and Saskatoon,[121] saw temporary closures for cleaning and disinfection after individual employees tested positive.

Lloydminster falls directly on the border between Alberta and Saskatchewan; on April 24, Mayor Gerald Aalbers stated that the city as a whole would follow Saskatchewan's decisions on the lifting of economic restrictions, rather than Alberta (which had not yet revealed its plans).[122][123]

In La Loche, a curfew between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. was ordered on April 18.[124][33] The Northern store in La Loche (one of only two grocery stores in the village) closed on May 7 for cleaning and disinfection after an employee tested positive.[54]

First Nations

Métis Nation-Saskatchewan declared a province-wide state of emergency on April 18.[125] The organization stated that "jurisdictional limbo" between the provincial and federal governments had hampered their ability to prepare for COVID-19.[126]

Municipal orders with measures contrary to provincial measures

The municipal governments of Gravelbourg and Regina declared their own states of emergency with stricter restrictions than those enforced by the province. Regina announced an intent to ban all public meetings larger than 5 people or more (outside of home, workplaces, or as part of essential services), and order the closure of retail stores in specific categories to in-person shopping (including clothing, furniture, games, sporting goods, and toys) effective March 23.[127] Gravelbourg similarly ordered that all businesses be closed to the public for 14 days (delivery and curbside pickup would still be allowed, and there were special operating requirements planned for the local Co-op store), and that only a maximum of five employees could be in a building at any one time.[128] Mayor of Regina Michael Fougere argued that Saskatchewan's initial restrictions were not strict enough, arguing that meetings of 50 people were too large to avoid possible community transmission, and that restaurants and bars should have been ordered to close rather than limit capacity.[129]

On March 22, the province stated that it would take steps to ensure that its emergency measures maintain precedence over municipal orders that include "contrary standards".[130] Minister of Government Relations Lori Carr explained that "during this time of great uncertainty, it is of the utmost importance that we provide certainty to Saskatchewan residents and make every effort to minimize confusion", and cited Regina's attempts to close retail stores as an example of a restriction where provincial decisions take precedence.[131][132]
