Allowable size for private gatherings changed to 15. Effective at midnight on Thursday October 15th, the allowable gathering size for private gatherings in the home will be 15 people. "With the increasing rise in cases throughout Saskatchewan, linked to public and private social gatherings, Saskatchewan’s Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Saqib Shahab is amending the Public Health order on gathering sizes in private residences.

From October 19th to 23rd we will be doing flu shots at the Shaunavon Catholic Church Hall. Flu clinic hours will be posted in the Shaunavon Standard. We have robust cleaning and physical distancing measures in place to ensure your safety. You will be screened for symptoms of Covid 19 upon entry and will be asked to wear a mask while attending the clinic to ensure the safety of our staff and other attendees. Sanitizing stations will be available at entry and exit. Please remember to wear loose fitting clothing like a t-shirt, bring your SK health card, and be prepared to wait 15 minutes after your injection so that we can monitor you for a reaction. Please be reminded that we are only allocated a certain number of doses per day, so all injections done at the Catholic Church Hall will be done on a first come, first served basis. We will limit the number of attendees at the clinic to 15 at any given time, so you may be asked to wait in your car until space is available. We suggest that families with young children attend our clinic at the Church Hall as we will have more space to accommodate you.
