For the first time since March 26, Saskatchewan is below 100 active cases of COVID-19.

While that news is promising, and shows people in the province are doing what has been asked of them to limit the spread of the virus, there is a fear within the Saskatchewan Union of Nurses that talk of a gradual re-opening of the province is the wrong move to make. President Tracy Zambory says we are seeing in other parts of the world, a second wave of the virus.

She says talk by Premier Moe of preparing to re-open the province needs to be curtailed because it makes people think they can loosen up what they think they should be doing. Her fear is that it will end up setting the province down the wrong path.

The state of emergency, which was declared March 18, was actually extended by Moe Wednesday for another two weeks.
