SASKATOON --
Twenty-five Saskatchewan health-care organizations are asking young adults to follow public health guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
“As health-care providers we are very concerned about the increasing number of COVID-19 cases in our province,” said Dr. Myles Deutscher, president of the Saskatchewan College of Family Physicians, in a news release.
“We wanted to target our younger patients because of the increase in cases we have seen in this demographic. Increased COVID cases puts a burden on all areas of the health-care system, which translates into a higher burden of illness for both COVID and non-COVID illnesses.”
