Don’t let COVID-19 go home with you

• Saskatchewan continues to monitor COVID-19 trends throughout the state, but public health should ensure that all residents are traveling within and between states for essential purposes only. I’m urging you.

• If you need to travel between states, be aware of the risk of infection in these jurisdictions and the public health orders in force there and will be tested shortly after returning home.
