Step 1 of Saskatchewan’s reopening roadmap begins Sunday, with more than 70 per cent of those aged 40 and older having received their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
It means the province is loosening its reins on public health measures and bringing Regina and the surrounding area in line with the rest of Saskatchewan.
Restaurants and bars across the province are allowed to increase the number of people at one table from four to six. Two metres or structural barriers between tables is required. VLTs can also reopen.

Group fitness classes that do intense training such as aerobics and spin can resume with three metres between participants.
Private indoor and outdoor gatherings including household gatherings are limited to 10 people while public indoor gatherings are limited to 30 people. Public outdoor gatherings are limited to 150 people.
