The Saskatchewan Health Authority (<a href="https://www.flyingeze.com/tag/sha" target="_blank" rel="noopener" target="_blank">SHA</a>) is reminding the general public to seek appropriate care when needed in the midst of the fourth wave of the <a href="https://www.flyingeze.com/tag/covid" target="_blank" rel="noopener" target="_blank">COVID-19</a> pandemic.
In these pandemic times, it can be hard to know whether someone should stay at home, go to the doctor or seek emergency care when they’re feeling ill, according to a press release on Friday.
SHA officials said a good rule of thumb is for people to call HealthLine 811, their family doctor or nurse practitioner if they have minor symptoms like a fever, vomiting or diarrhea. If symptoms worsen significantly or people are experiencing significant distress, they said call 911 or go to the emergency department.

“Yes, we&#8217;re busy, but we&#8217;re focusing on people with acute and emergency services that need our care. So don&#8217;t stay away. Please be understanding that not all care is continuing, but our emergency in urgent care is here for you,” SHA chief medical officer Dr. Susan Shaw said Thursday.
​“We are still here for you if you need urgent and emergent care. And I really don&#8217;t want anyone to stay away if they think they&#8217;re having a major illness or a sudden change in their health. Seek care, call 911.
“We are there for you. It is very safe to come in and have care inside our hospitals and our emergency rooms.

SHA laid out the following for people seeking appropriate health care:
<ul>
<li>When to stay home: If a person has COVID-19 symptoms, stay at home, call HealthLine 811 for a COVID-10 test referral or go to your local testing site.</li>
<li>When to go to the doctor: Call or visit family doctors, nurse practitioners or community clinics for everyday health-care needs. Most physician offices are seeing patients in person. It is also very important that people continue to connect with their provider about the care of any chronic diseases they may be living with.</li>
<li>When to seek emergency care: If someone is experiencing significant distress such as unconsciousness, difficulty breathing, chest pain, signs of a stroke, trauma or severe bleeding, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.</li>
<li>When to go to an assessment and COVID-19 treatment site: If a person tests positive for COVID-19, their health-care provider may refer them to an assessment and treatment site, which are located across Saskatchewan to reduce in-person visits to emergency departments.</li>
</ul>
On Friday, Saskatchewan’s dashboard showed 276 COVID-19 hospital patients, 4,734 active cases and the overall death toll rose by five to 663. The province’s seven-day average of new daily infections is at 478.

Manitoba reports 60 new COVID-19 cases

OTTAWA &#8212; A northern Ontario <a href="http://globalnews.ca/tag/first-nation" target="_blank">First Nation</a> says Indigenous Services Canada gave residents expired doses of the Pfizer vaccine for <a href="http://globalnews.ca/tag/covid" target="_blank">COVID-19</a> between Aug. 9 and Sept. 15.
According to a statement from the Saugeen First Nation, nurses from ISC administered doses based on the expiry date on the vials, not realizing the doses had already expired because they were not refrigerated.

				&#8216;We’re really afraid’: Kashechewan First Nation grapples with COVID-19 outbreak			</a>
		
	
The First Nation says the shipment was received in July and was originally set to expire in October.
But because the vials were thawed, they were good for only 31 days &#8212; until Aug. 9. The new expiry date was noted on the box but not on the individual vials, in accordance with ISC protocol.
The Saugeen First Nation COVID-19 response team says the expired doses do not pose a health risk, but the mistake could affect the livelihood of some residents while they await another dose.
Indigenous Services Canada has not yet responded to requests for comment.

Front-line public servants in Manitoba who aren&#8217;t fully vaccinated will soon need to provide a negative <a href="https://www.flyingeze.com/p/coronavirus" target="_blank" rel="noopener" target="_blank">COVID-19</a> test before showing up for work.
Regular testing for front-line workers who have direct and ongoing or prolonged contact with vulnerable Manitobans will begin Oct. 18, under new public health orders announced Friday.

“Nothing is more important than the health and safety of vulnerable Manitobans during this fourth COVID-19 wave,” said Manitoba Health Minister Audrey Gordon in a release.
“Ensuring public-sector workers that provide valuable public services like health care and education services are routinely tested for COVID-19 or fully immunized will help ensure the safety of their workplace and the people they serve.”

<li>child and family service personnel;</li>
<li>funded agency personnel in direct contact with vulnerable populations;</li>
<li>home-care workers; and</li>
<li>paramedics.</li>
</ul>
Under the public health order, designated public-sector workplaces will be required to make rapid testing available on-site for unvaccinated employees and officials estimated the move may affect some 20,000 public-sector workers who are not fully vaccinated.

They say rapid antigen tests &#8212; which can bring results within 15 minutes &#8212; will be used, and employees will need to provide proof of a negative test within 48 hours before starting a shift.
Dr. Brent Roussin, Manitoba&#8217;s chief provincial health officer, said that could mean unvaccinated or partially vaccinated employees will need to be tested as many as three times a week, depending on their work schedules.

Roussin said if a rapid test provides a positive result for <a href="https://www.flyingeze.com/p/coronavirus" target="_blank" rel="noopener" target="_blank">COVID-19</a>, affected employees must report to a provincial testing facility to take a test and self-isolate until they receive their results.
For now, officials say the province will be covering the costs of the rapid tests.

The public health order does not apply to the private sector or the not-for-profit sector, although the province said it is working with the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce to <a href="https://winnipeg-chamber.com/chamber-blog/order-covid-19-rapid-test-kits/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" target="_blank">provide rapid tests for businesses</a> that chose to enact their own vaccination or testing requirements.
Roussin said once a public-sector employee is fully vaccinated against <a href="https://www.flyingeze.com/p/coronavirus" target="_blank" rel="noopener" target="_blank">COVID-19</a> and provides proof of vaccination, they will no longer be required to take part in the regular testing.

“Vaccines are the best protection against COVID-19, for individuals and for others, and I want to thank all Manitoba public-sector workers for their ongoing efforts to protect vulnerable Manitobans and their colleagues,” Roussin said in a release.
“The best protection against this fourth COVID-19 wave is to get vaccinated, get tested and follow all public health orders designed to keep you, your family and your community safe.”

It says 419,902 area residents are now fully vaccinated, 1,606 more than it announced 24 hours earlier.
It means that 71.31 per cent of area residents are now fully vaccinated, a number that climbs to 82.81 per cent when considering only those who are eligible to be vaccinated.

Ontario is reporting 727 new COVID-19 cases on Friday as the seven-day average continues to decline. The provincial case total now stands at 582,635.
<img src="https://d21y75miwcfqoq.cloudfront.net/70c8fc80" alt="" />Of the 727 new cases recorded, the data shows 447 were unvaccinated people, 56 were partially vaccinated people, 170 were fully vaccinated people and for 54 people the vaccination status was unknown.
According to Friday’s <a href="https://files.ontario.ca/moh-covid-19-report-en-2021-09-24.pdf" target="_blank">report</a>, 144 cases were recorded in Toronto, 83 in Peel Region, 70 in Ottawa, 66 in Hamilton, 54 in York Region, 35 in Durham Region, 33 in Windsor-Essex and 30 in Eastern Ontario Health Unit.

People across New Brunswick are now required to show proof of vaccination before they can visit hospitals or health-care facilities.
Visitors of Horizon Health Network and the Vitalité Health Network are required to show proof of being fully vaccinated against <a href="https://www.flyingeze.com/tag/covid" target="_blank">COVID-19</a> upon entry to the hospital matching a photo ID.

There are some exceptions to the new rules that were clarified on Thursday by both health authorities.
The Vitalité Health Network said it will allow for compassionate visitation among those not fully vaccinated if they can show proof of a negative COVID-19 test within the 72 hours preceding the visit, have no symptoms, and agree to be accompanied to and from the rooms they plan to visit.
&#8220;These visits must be coordinated with the nursing unit,&#8221; said Vitalité Health spokesperson Thomas Lizotte.

				Surgeries continue to be postponed at Interior Health hospitals, officials say			</a>
		
	
Lizotte said those visitors must also respect physical distancing and limit their interactions with employees, other patients and visitors.
Those same regulations and compassionate visitation exceptions apply to Horizon Health Network hospitals, which are also allowing for visitation of designated support persons who are not fully vaccinated.
&#8220;This includes partners/spouses of expectant/delivering mothers,&#8221; stated Horizon Health spokesperson Kris McDavid.
All visitors can expect to experience a series of screening questions upon entry to the facilities. If visitation is ongoing, visitors who are not fully vaccinated must also take a screening test on days 5 and 10.

The health authorities stated the new measures aim to reduce the number of admissions and preserve the health-care system.
“We must be ready to face an increase of COVID-19 hospitalizations in the days and weeks to come. It is thus important for us to get prepared and ensure that we have the flexibility necessary to react quickly as needed,” said Dr. France Desrosiers, president and CEO of Vitalité Health Network.
The new regulations do not apply to patients.

Vitalité Health Network will allow for compassionate visitation for those not fully vaccinated if they have a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours before and have no symptoms.

The manager of a Montreal long-term care home where 47 residents died during the first wave of the <a href="https://globalnews.ca/tag/covid/">COVID-19</a>  pandemic told a coroner&#8217;s inquiry Wednesday that staffing issues played a part in the crisis.
Andrei Stanica, who oversaw the now-shuttered Residence Herron, says the replacement of experienced staff in January 2020 with workers from a temp agency and the lack of a director of care contributed to what happened.
But Stanica says he tried his best to ensure the best care and adds that when he fell ill and left the facility on March 27, there were no reports of a catastrophic situation.

He says he was surprised two days later when regional health authorities announced trusteeship plans for the private care home.
The inquiry has heard that regional health authorities found residents dehydrated, unfed and soiled when they entered the facility on March 29.
Coroner Géhane Kamel said Wednesday that Herron&#8217;s staffing woes seem to have been mitigated by the fact families were taking care of residents, but then provincial health authorities banned visitors in mid-March to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Kamel&#8217;s mandate is to investigate 53 deaths in 2020 at six long-term care homes and one seniors residence — including 47 at Herron — and come up with recommendations.

Kamel said there are many contradictions in the testimony she&#8217;s heard during the inquest into Herron, and wondered openly if management at the private facility was cutting corners on equipment purchases and hiring unskilled employees.
&#8220;But it degenerated to a point where people who are illegal came in to work with vulnerable people who were left on their own,&#8221; Kamel said. &#8220;So when you look at the big picture, in retrospect, we can say it went out of control and the victims of all this are elderly people.&#8221;

Quebec&#8217;s premier will table a bill to clamp down on anti-<a href="https://www.flyingeze.com/tag/covid" target="_blank">COVID-19</a> vaccine protests in front of hospitals and schools.
François Legault told reporters at the National Assembly he will introduce the proposed legislation to his caucus Wednesday and then to the provincial legislature on Thursday.
&#8220;It makes no sense,&#8221; he said, referring to recent anti-vaccination protests.

Quebec&#8217;s three main opposition parties said earlier on Wednesday that it&#8217;s unacceptable that protesters are approaching children in an attempt to influence them against following pandemic-related health orders and getting vaccinated.
On Tuesday, the Liberals&#8217; education critic said she had drafted her own bill and had sent it to the justice minister.
All three parties say they are ready to work with the government to adopt the law quickly.
The bill comes after Legault said earlier this week he was willing to use “whatever is necessary” to prevent people from disrupting students attending school or health-care workers entering hospitals.

TORONTO &#8212; Premier Doug Ford attempted to allay concerns about Ontario&#8217;s vaccine certificate system on the eve of its implementation, saying the province needed to do all it could to keep up the fight against <a href="https://www.flyingeze.com/category/covid-19" target="_blank">COVID-19</a>.
Ford said Tuesday he knew many people were worried that the system would impede on their civil liberties, but he noted that the greater concern was experiencing a sudden surge in infections and having to lock down the province again.
&#8220;This pandemic remains an emergency and there are real-world consequences of not acting,&#8221; he said in a statement.

&#8220;We need to do everything in our power to avoid future lockdowns and closures. That is why we are bringing in these exceptional measures on a temporary basis and will end them as soon as they can be responsibly removed.&#8221;
Ford, who was initially opposed to vaccine certificates, announced the system earlier this month after weeks of pressure from experts, businesses and his political opponents.
Starting Wednesday, patrons at dine-in restaurants, nightclubs, gyms, sports facilities and other venues will need to present a receipt of full vaccination along with a form of government-issued identification. Doctors&#8217; notes for medical exemptions will also be accepted.
On Oct. 22, the province aims to launch a QR code and verification app for businesses to streamline the process.

Retail stores and services considered &#8220;essential,&#8221; like grocery stores, are exempt. Children under age 12 who can&#8217;t be vaccinated are also exempt, as are people under 18 entering facilities for organized sports.
The system also doesn&#8217;t apply to venue staff.
Fines are on the table for businesses that don&#8217;t comply with the checks required by the system, and for patrons who give false information. But businesses, by-law officers, police forces and the province say enforcement will be gentle at first, meaning much of the heavy lifting will fall to businesses&#8217; front-line staff.

The Ministry of Health reported on Tuesday that 85.2 per cent of Ontarians over the age of 12 have received one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine and 79.2 per cent are fully vaccinated.
The province reported 574 new cases of COVID-19 on Tuesday and eight more deaths linked to the virus. Health Minister Christine Elliott said that 434 of those cases are in people who are not fully vaccinated or have an unknown vaccination status. There were 330 people hospitalized with the virus, with 303 not fully vaccinated.

Ford said he knew many people were worried that the system would impede on their civil liberties, but he noted the greater concern was experiencing a sudden surge in infections.

The <a href="https://globalnews.ca/tag/saskatchewan-government/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Saskatchewan government</a> says residents are now able to access their <a href="https://globalnews.ca/tag/covid/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">COVID-19</a> vaccination record via a digital QR (Quick Response) code on mobile devices.
A new one-page format replaces the record launched in the province last month, according to a press release on Monday.

The provincial government said the new format with QR code supports proof of vaccination at border entry if travelling internationally, and is aligned with work the federal government is undertaking on a national solution.
“This is the next, improved, version of Saskatchewan’s COVID-19 vaccination record. It has been something that travellers, businesses and organizations have been asking for,” Saskatchewan Health Minister Paul Merriman said in a press release.
“I encourage anyone eligible for vaccination in Saskatchewan to get their vaccines, and to get their COVID-19 vaccine certificate from MySaskHealthRecord.”

The province also announced a free verifier app will be available for download by the end of September for businesses or organizations to scan the QR code and determine if a person is fully vaccinated or not.
“Information is secure, and is not viewed/saved/retained in the scanning process,” read a statement from the government.
“‘Fully vaccinated’ means 14-days after receiving: the second of two doses of an mRNA vaccine (Pfizer, Moderna) or AstraZeneca/COVISHIELD (all interchangeable between the two doses), or; one dose of Janssen (Johnson &amp; Johnson) vaccine.”

Starting Monday, Sept. 20, the province said an interim registration process is being implemented to make it easier for people to access proof of COVID-19 vaccination through their MySaskHealthRecord account at eHealth Saskatchewan.
The new approach will suspend the verification of a PIN requirement for three to four months in order to allow people quicker access to their MySaskHealthRecord and vaccination information.
“Verification will still continue through key identity verification documents (health card and SGI photo ID),” read the statement.
“Website traffic is expected to be busy and delays may be experienced as more people sign up for MySaskHealthRecord in preparation for proof of vaccination requirements that begin on Oct. 1.”
Through <a href="http://www.ehealthsask.ca/MySaskHealthRecord/MySaskHealthRecord/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MySaskHealthRecord</a>, people can also access their lab test results, including COVID-19 tests. Officials added it may take up to 24 hours for records to be updated after an account is activated.

The Saskatchewan government said the new certificate with digital QR code supports proof of vaccination at border entry if travelling internationally.
