Gathering Sizes

Saskatchewan residents are reminded that indoor and outdoor gatherings may have a maximum of 30 people, provided there is enough space to maintain a two metre separation between individuals who are not in the same household.

Gathering sizes should be smaller if there isn’t enough space to maintain a physical distance of two metres at all times.

For food service at gatherings, potlucks are discouraged and there should be no shared platters of food or shared buffet service. If food is being served, it should be plated. One person should handle the preparation of food and drink following proper food safety protocols. This reduces the number of people who crowd around or touch serving utensils or drink containers.

Remember to take precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19, including:

• Staying home if you are sick.
• Practising proper cough and sneezing etiquette (into a tissue or the bend of your elbow).
• Washing your hands often with soap and water; if soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
• Maintaining physical distancing.
• Wearing a mask, especially when indoors in public places or with persons not in your extended household bubble.
