It’s a promising sign from our next-door neighbours.
Today Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe revealed the details of the province’s plan to reopen its economy and services.
The plan will happen in 5 stages, beginning on May 4th.
The first phase will involve the reopening of medical services, like dentists, optometry, physical therapy, and chiropractic treatments.
Outdoor activities deemed to be low-risk will also be allowed during the first phase of reopening. On May 4th, fishing and boat launches will be permitted.
The limit on public gatherings will still be capped at 10 people.
Moe says restriction will be gradually lifted over the following weeks, and more types of businesses will be allowed to reopen, if they choose.
Saskatchewan's 2nd phase of reopening will begin on May 19th, which will see businesses like clothing stores, hairdressers, and massage therapists cleared to reopen.
Here in Manitoba, Premier Brian Pallister says the government will unveil plans to begin easing social distancing measures. We'll have to wait until next week to find out more details about Manitoba’s reopening plan.
Manitoba's chief public health officer Dr. Brent Roussin says the reopening of Manitoba's economy could look similar to Saskatchewan's plan.
