Health care workers are demanding increased health measures to combat the pandemic. The Saskatchewan Medical Association and the Saskatchewan Union of Nurses would like to see a reinstatement of limits on indoor gatherings for both private and public events, daily public reporting of vaccinations, case counts, hospitalizations and ICU admissions, and sufficient contact tracing with appropriately trained staff to ensure rapid case detection to stem the community spread.

SMA president says, ” Mask mandates and vaccination requirements are essential, but are not enough against the spread of the more transmissible Delta variant. With the approach of colder weather, gatherings will move indoors, creating the potential for surges in cases.” SUN president Tracy Zambory says, “Without indoor gathering limits, COVID-19 will spread, and people will die.”
