The declaration of a COVID-19 outbreak is used by Public Health to mobilize and coordinate a response to the infection. It is not necessarily an indicator of risk to the public.
The Public Health definition of an outbreak varies by setting. In long-term care and personal care homes, an outbreak is declared when one person (a resident or healthcare worker) tests positive for COVID-19.
We will be publicly posting outbreaks within:
- Saskatchewan Health Authority facilities including hospitals, long-term care homes and integrated facilities, as well as assisted living facilities with a long-term care unit if the cases are associated with the long-term care unit;
- personal care homes and homeless shelters as these include vulnerable populations; and
- all correctional facilities in Saskatchewan
The posting of outbreaks in a workplace, industrial or commercial space will be done on a case-by-case basis, when deemed appropriate and necessary. This approach balances protecting the public and ensuring the privacy of individuals and businesses.
Public advisories will always be issued when there is a risk to the public.
