Saskatchewan’s NDP leader says it’s time for the Premier and the government to be honest with Saskatchewan people when it comes to COVID-19 data.

Ryan Meili says Saskatchewan residents deserve to know the situation we are in and that hiding information is not right because it is not helping in the fight to stop the virus that has claimed the lives of 200 people since the pandemic started.
He adds the uncertainty that the government is causing is not sending the right message.

“When people don’t know what’s happening, its more frightening.” Meili said. “It also breeds more skepticism and resistance to the necessary measures. It makes us less safe.”

Meili says we need to know what number of cases per day or total active cases will trigger further restrictions and what do they need to drop to for those restrictions to be reduced. As well he says there needs to be very clear action outlined in terms of what could be next restrictions imposed to curb the spread of COVID-19.  (CKRM)
