Opening is at the discretion of the workplace, based on risk assessment and ability to operate safely, protecting staff and customers.
“We are pleased with the enhanced communication from the Government of Saskatchewan and the Saskatchewan Health Authority and look forward to restoring services in our community in alignment with the province’s phased plan,” said Mayor Gerald Aalbers. “This reopening is contingent upon maintaining manageable COVID-19 case numbers, which means as a community we must remain diligent about protection and prevention.”

Per the Lloydminster Charter, the City of Lloydminster is compelled to abide by orders issued under the Saskatchewan Health Act.
On April 29, 2020, the reopening of the City of Lloydminster was temporarily placed on hold after the Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe announced the City had to halt its reopening until further notice.
