Returning to In-Person Experiences
As the Re-Open Saskatchewan plan continues to move forward, organizations find themselves with questions about how to operate safely in this new atmosphere. While we continue to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic, and maintain efforts to flatten the curve, many adjustments are being made across the province to achieve this goal and keep people as safe and healthy as possible.
While there is no ‘one-size fits all’ plan that applies to every organization and group across Saskatchewan, there are many good examples of best practices that you should consider as you move towards re-opening for the general public. Here are some things to consider, and some steps you should take, as you begin to welcome back patrons:
