Correctional facilities were highlighted as one of several workplaces leading to declared outbreaks during Thursday’s weekly physician town halls. Corrections came up a handful of times in the presentation.
Dr. Johnmark Opondo, who gave the epidemiological update, told his colleagues that correctional settings “have been really prominent in terms of care production numbers.”
He said outbreaks in Regina and Saskatoon correctional centres as well as at Saskatchewan Penitentiary in Prince Albert, are considered “outbreaks of concern” and are all being driven by variants.
