Some leaders and nurses say northern Saskatchewan isn't ready for the province's plan to reopen the economy, as more outbreaks show up in communities.

The province will likely see more “isolated outbreaks” pop up in communities, warns the Saskatchewan Union of Nurses.“We need to figure out how we’re going to manage this because we’re going to end up having these kind of outbreaks all over the province,” said union president Tracy Zambory.Right now, she says nurses in northern Saskatchewan aren’t prepared for the province to reopen.

Along with treating people, Zambory said staff can also help with contact tracing — going back and seeing who someone who tested positive came in contact with. It’s key to finding out who else may have been exposed. The nurse’s union and community leaders also say whole communities need to be tested to contain these outbreaks.

“We need tests in this region, that’s the bottom line of our strategy — contain, test, go back to normal,” said Laliberte.A negative to announcing reopening; even if you tell people nothing’s changed, they won’t always listen.“It was like there was no rules in place at all. That’s not going to work. We have to follow the rules, that’s why we’re doing so well was all of those rules that were put in place, the hard work that’s gone into planning.

Quebec hospitals struggling with influx of COVID-19 patients even as province moves to reopenNearly 1,700 people in Quebec were being treated for COVID-19 as of Wednesday, with 222 of them in intensive care. Montreal in particular ‘remains a hot zone’ But sure, let's send kids to school...seems reasonable I hope Ontario and Quebec keep their borders closed! Pls don’t come to Ontario! They don't care about their health care workers, or the life of people. It's almost to wonder if it's not convenient for them to get rid of people with chronic disease. Most people are waiting for this plan to fail dramatically.

I understand the need to ease restrictions and the desire of québécois for things to return to normalcy; but given the current situation, reopening should be the last thing in their mind! Well that’s one way of “Separating” ....extinction!
