Family Presence Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to wear a mask in a Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) facility?

Continuous masking is no longer required in SHA facilities. Masks may be required at times in specific areas of SHA facilities, consistent with pre-pandemic point of care risk assessment processes and routine Infection Prevention and Control (IPAC) practices or in an outbreak situation. Masks will continue to be readily available for any patients/residents, family members/visitors, physicians and staff who may need or want to wear one in any area of an SHA facility/home.
