Once you are two weeks past your second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, if you are named as a close contact of someone who has tested positive for the virus, and you remain asymptomatic, you won’t have to isolate. Health Minister Paul Merriman says the level of protection provided by the two doses of vaccine is why the government can announce this new guideline.
If you have symptoms though, you will have to self-isolate and be tested. Anyone who is unvaccinated or has only had one vaccine, must still self-isolated if they are named as a close contact.

The back alley on the corner of McDonald Street and Sixth Avenue in Regina is usually a hotspot for taggers writing their names and symbols. To stop that trend, it s now filled with bags of dozens of spray paint cans, acrylic paint and brushes.
Kiel Smith, better known through his artist name Raef-Mgs, has been working for days on a large mythological piece showing Zeus, Poseidon and Hades.
Smith has been doing professional art in Regina since 2011 and may be best known for his pieces on Albert Street and Seventh Avenue, at the Centennial Market and at the Tipsi Samurai. Now he s the first to do a large mural for the Regina Free Wall project.
City tables motion to address train noise in Eastview By Josh Sigurdson

Residents in Regina’ Eastview neighbourhood will have to endure train noise a little longer as the city decides the best way forward.
During City Council Wednesday, a motion brought forward to address train noise was tabled until after the city directs train traffic away from Ring Road.
Mayor Sandra Masters says there’s not a whole lot the city can do about the decades-long issue.
“We’re a community that was built where we are due to the rail line location. Regina depended on that for some time, and still, it’s one of our assets in terms of being able to move product to market,” said Masters. “Part of the issue is that it’s a federally regulated area, and Transport Canada has ultimate authority over that.”
