Saskatchewan Alternative Initiatives is dealing with a COVID-19 outbreak, the second group home for those with intellectual disabilities to have an outbreak declared in the past 10 days.
According to executive director Tim Jones, he is aware of three cases within the organization.
“We’ve been very fortunate up until now,” he said. “Last week, we had one of our homes declared an outbreak as we had two employees at the same home test positive for COVID. Since then on Saturday, public health came and did mass testing for all the employees and the individuals from that home.”
