Businesses across Saskatchewan are no longer required to ask patrons for proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test. 

This change to the public health orders came into effect at 12:01 a.m. today, after Premier Scott Moe announced the end of the mandate last week. Moe had said that proof of vaccination has been an effective policy, but its effectiveness had run its course. 

The City of Weyburn, South East Cornerstone Public School Division, and the Saskatchewan Health Authority are all following the province’s lead by removing this mandate from their facilities. 

Moe said that proof of vaccination records and QR codes will still be available to Saskatchewan residents for use where needed, and vaccines and rapid test kits will continue to be widely accessible.  

The masking mandate will remain in place until the end of the month.
