The Saskatchewan Health Authority is ending its outbreak declaration at the long term care facility in the La Loche Health Centre made on April 17th.

Dr. Rim Zayed, Medical Health Officer, has declared the outbreak over after the standard 28 day period has passed without a new positive case of COVID-19 in Long Term Care. Dr. Zayed cautions that community precautions remain in place and that exhaustive work continues as the Saskatchewan Health Authority and local community leaders work together to curtail the spread of COVID-19 in the area. This includes extensive door to door testing, mobile testing, and aggressive contact tracing.
