VACCINE PASSPORT

Province adds to Public Health Order requiring proof of vaccination in more venues

Oct 15, 2021 | 11:50 AM

The Government of Saskatchewan has made a change to the existing Public Health Order adding venues that will require proof of vaccination or a negative test.

According to a media release, you will need to provide either upon entry to all seated dining in restaurants including fast food restaurants. It will also be required in liquor manufacturers conducting retail liquor sales and liquor stores with an integrated permit that also hold a liquor restaurant or tavern permit.

However, proof of vaccination or a negative test will not be needed to pick up food, delivery, or at food courts as well as entering a venue to use a washroom.

This change comes following the new Public Health Order put into effect on Oct. 1 which included a proof of vaccination or a negative test to enter non-essential venues such as:

• Restaurants, including restaurants in hotels or other lodgings;
• Nightclubs, bars, taverns, and manufacturer hospitality suites, buses and other establishments and transportation licensed by the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority for the sale and service of alcohol;
• Liquor stores that have been issued standalone retail store permits by the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority; and
• Cannabis stores that have been issued standalone retail store permits by the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority.
