An employee at an Eden Care assisted living facility in Regina has tested positive for COVID-19. There are no indications it has spread to other employees or residents. The facility is closed to admissions, discharges and transfers, and residents who have been in close contact with the employee will be isolated and monitored twice daily for 14 days.
The facility, with support from the Saskatchewan Health Authority, is taking action, including visitor restrictions, to reduce the risk of the virus spreading.
Staff Assessments at Long-Term Care Facilities

Regulatory Measures in Place to License Additional Professionals
Retired employees now have an easier and quicker way to help provide urgent patient care. The Ministry of Health has been working with professional health bodies to put measures in place to provide temporary licenses for retired, non-practising and student members. The Government of Saskatchewan is covering the fees for these professionals, which can cost several hundred dollars per member per year depending on the regulatory body.
