The Saskatchewan Health Authority has made the decision to tighten the COVID-19 restrictions at a number of long-term care homes in Regina because multiple cases are present in these facilities. The SHA says outbreaks are either confirmed or suspected at Regina Lutheran Home, Santa Maria, Extendicare Elmview, Extendicare Parkside, Extendicare Sunset, Regina Pioneer Village, and the long-term care unit of the Wascana Rehabilitation Centre.
Most of those infected have not been displaying symptoms, nor have they required hospitalization at this time. Testing at the homes is ongoing for both staff and residents. These homes are now in the Level 3 family presence stage. That means family presence is now limited to end of life care and otherwise it will be virtual.
