4. Why is the Government of Saskatchewan issuing public health orders for COVID-19?

  • Our government's goal is to protect the overall well-being and livelihoods of people of Saskatchewan as much as possible while minimizing serious illness and deaths due to COVID-19. 
  • We are all at risk of getting sick with COVID-19 and spreading it to our family, friends, and neighbours.
    • People of all ages have been hospitalized, and some have died, due to COVID-19.
    • The long-term effects of COVID-19 on people who have gotten sick are still unknown.
    • It will take time to get enough people vaccinated against COVID-19 to slow transmission.
    • Even if you have received the vaccine and do not get sick, you might still pass COVID onto others.
  • We need to make sure our hospitals have enough room for all patients (those with COVID-19 and those without).
    • Some people With COVID-19 become seriously ill and need to be cared for in hospital. If we have too many COVID-19 patients needing hospital care, our hospitals will be overwhelmed.
    • This means that we will not have enough hospital beds, healthcare workers, or equipment to save lives from preventable deaths.
    • It also means that we cannot provide less urgent healthcare (e.g. elective surgeries) when people need it.
    • Even if you are not hospitalized when you get sick with COVID-19, there is a good chance of you giving the illness to someone else who will need to be hospitalized.
  • Public health orders target the riskiest activities and environments for spreading COVID-19.
    • Public health officials are continually tracking how COVID-19 is spreading in our communities, as well as new evidence about the virus and what measures are necessary to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in Saskatchewan.
    • These can change over time. Public health orders are updated to match our current situation.
    • Public health orders are only put in place when absolutely necessary.
