The Saskatchewan Health Authority has restricted visitor access at a long-term care home in Meadow Lake, Sask., following a COVID-19 case at the facility.
Family members and support people will only be allowed to visit Northlands Pioneers Lodge for compassionate reasons, said the SHA in a press release Friday.
“No other visitors are allowed into the long-term care home at this time and these enhanced restrictions will remain in place until further notice,” the SHA said.
