Messages from City Council

Re-Open Saskatchewan is a plan built on a methodical and phased-in approach to slowly and responsibly lift restrictions on businesses and services. Flattening the curve and strengthening the system will remain priorities, as will our ability to manage the current COVID-19 pressures by building capacity in the coming weeks and months. Key elements will include increased testing and contact tracing, as well as the preparation of additional space and critical equipment.

Restrictions will be lifted in stages, with consideration given to socioeconomic factors and the risk of transmission. They will be implemented via public health orders and the timing will be dictated by evidence of transmission.

A Covid-19 Business Response Plan has been developed in partnership between the City of Weyburn, RM of Weyburn, Weyburn Regional Economic Development and the Weyburn Chamber of Commerce.

The developed response planning is critical in adapting business operations to changing conditions in the business market and establishing a resilient business plan. These six steps are intended to assist businesses through the current pandemic crisis.

For more information on the Business Response Plan, contact the Weyburn Chamber of Commerce at (306) 842-4738 or email at admin@weyburnchamber.com.

If anyone has symptoms such as fever, cough and difficulty breathing and have traveled outside Canada or have been exposed to someone who has COVID-19, they should stay home and call HealthLine 811.
