Anyone who attended the business during the listed times below should be self-monitoring for symptoms for 14 days after their visit or seek a testing referral by contacting HealthLine 811.

The advisory applies to anyone who was at the Country Roads Motor Inn, dining area only, in Cut Knife, SK on July 13 to 16 from noon to 1 p.m.

The public health alert is issued as a precaution. The province said that COVID-19 is easily transmitted and wants to ensure residents are aware if they have been to this business during the listed times. As of July 14, COVID-19 testing is available to anyone, regardless of whether they have symptoms or not.

The public is reminded that during the COVID-19 pandemic it is important to take precautions to protect yourself, your families and everyone who lives in the community. This includes physical distancing to maintain a two-metre separation at all times, frequent hand washing, and self-isolating if you are sick.

It is also important to adhere to public health orders and municipal government guidelines, including limiting your social circles and not attending large gatherings.

COVID-19 is still present in Saskatchewan and we all have a responsibility to minimize the spread of the disease. Together we can make a positive difference and keep our communities safe.​​
