Assess Your Risk and Get Tested
Ìý
The Government of Saskatchewan continues to recommend against all non-essential travel. ÌýInternational travelers must abide by federal testing and quarantine measures. ÌýIf you choose to travel inter-provincially, get tested as soon as you return to Saskatchewan and plan for a follow up test seven days later.
The presence of new variants across Canada means an elevated risk of bringing more transmissible strains of COVID-19 home with you. ÌýWhile you cannot test your way out of travel risks, testing is the best tool available to protect your family, friends and all residents of Saskatchewan against COVID-19 if you have travelled.
