Lloydminster, AB/SK – All COVID-19 public health measures in the province of Saskatchewan could be removed as early as Sunday, July 11, 2021, if vaccination thresholds are met for people age 12 and above.
Speaking from the Saskatchewan Legislature Building in Regina on Tuesday, June 1, 2021, Premier Scott Moe and Dr. Saqib Shahab, Saskatchewan’s chief medical officer of health, announced an amended Re-Opening Road Map to outline the Stage 3B threshold requirements for those 12 and older.
With a target date set, Stage 3A of the provincial reopening plan will lift certain public health restrictions, such as those on restaurants, sports and recreation. Mandatory masking and gathering size limits would remain in effect until 70 per cent of people ages 12 and above have received their first dose.
"It's really up to Saskatchewan people and how many of us make the choice to protect ourselves and those around us and get vaccinated," Premier Scott Moe said in a release. "Because that's really what this is all about. The goal isn't just to meet some target number we have set. The goal is to protect Saskatchewan people, so we can reopen safely."
The removal of all other public health orders, including mandatory masking requirements and gathering limits, would occur after 70 per cent of people age 12 and above have received the first dose of COVID-19 vaccine, with at least three weeks having passed since the beginning of Step 2.

Masking
Although masking requirements will no longer be required under the public health order in Stage 3B, some people may still wish to wear masks based on their own risk assessment and comfort level, depending on the circumstances. Masking requirements may also still be in effect in certain workplaces at the discretion of owners or operators.
Gatherings/Events
Organizers of larger gatherings this summer are reminded there are some guidelines to assist in planning.
Although physical distancing will no longer be required, consider spacing and separation for those attending through messaging or crowd control barriers. All washrooms and commonly touched surfaces should continue to receive enhanced cleaning and disinfection. Employees and volunteers should be aware of public health prevention practices, such as proper sanitization, guest interaction etiquette and emergency response protocol.
