Regina may have turned a corner recently in its battle with COVID-19, but Saskatoon Mayor Charlie Clark says his city is on “red alert.”
Now, he’s calling on the provincial government to enact further measures to prevent hospitals and intensive care units from filling up, and to help prevent more people from dying or becoming seriously ill.
It’s the latest step the mayor has taken, after holding a news conference two weeks ago asking residents to “buckle down” to prevent the spread of COVID-19 variants, and condemning the recent “freedom rallies” at city parks.
