Prairie Harm Reduction in Saskatoon posted on its Facebook page Monday morning that a staff member tested positive for COVID-19.

It's anticipated Saskatchewan’s first supervised consumption site will reach it's daily client capacity once winter arrives.

Drug overdose deaths in Saskatchewan have nearly tripled since 2010, when 78 people died.

Prairie Harm Reduction has been working to get the facility open for five years. There's been a lot going on behind the scenes, including the recent hire of an on-site paramedic.

Jason Mercredi, executive director of Saskatoon-based Prairie Harm Reduction, said demand is skyrocketing for naloxone, which can reverse the effects of an overdose.

New data shows 2020 could already be Saskatchewan's deadliest year on record for drug overdoses. The numbers have Health Minister Jim Reiter "very concerned."

AIDS Saskatoon said it will now be known as Prairie Harm Reduction as it prepares to open Saskatchewan’s first safe consumption site in October.
