The Saskatchewan Health Authority confirmed late Tuesday afternoon there are two localized respiratory illness outbreaks at long term care facilities in Weyburn.

Doug Dahl, a communications officer with the Health Authority, stated the outbreaks were affecting the Weyburn Special Care Home, and houses 3 and 4 at Tatagwa View.

“Any restrictions on visitors would be limited to the units affected by the outbreak, so we would recommend people call ahead just to make sure,” added Dahl.

The exact type of respiratory illness was not confirmed by the Health Authority.
