SHA shifting to self-screening at its facilities

Mar 1, 2022 | 3:11 PM

The Saskatchewan Health Authority has started to move to self-screening at its facilities.

The SHA began the process Monday — the same day the last of the COVID-related public health measures in Saskatchewan was lifted. The goal is to have the self-screening process fully implemented by the end of March.

Upon arrival at an SHA facility, family members, support people and visitors will be asked to review three questions:

• Are you currently under federal orders to isolate/quarantine due to recent travel?
• Have you or someone in your household tested positive for COVID-19 in the last 10 days?
• In the last 24 hours, have you had any COVID-19 symptoms?

Anyone who answers yes to any of those questions shouldn’t enter the facility. The only exceptions will be situations involving end of life.

Everyone who enters an SHA facility still has to wear a medical mask, and must do so at all times in acute-care facilities and in common areas in long-term care homes. Masks will still be available at the screening stations.
