1. Bravo Kate!

2. Well done Kate!

   I was too late for the news conference so I grabbed this from CBC NEWS
   Saskatchewan

   Some of the 12 rural Sask. emergency rooms closed due to COVID-19 will begin reopening in June

   The emergency room in Arcola, Sask., will reopen in mid-June.

   Saskatchewan emergency rooms that were temporarily shuttered earlier this month as health officials worked to contain COVID-19 will reopen in June, the province’s health authority says.

   The first of the emergency rooms to reopen will be in Arcola around mid-June, with other communities to follow, the Saskatchewan Health Authority announced on Tuesday. 

   “Some of t​​​he criteria being used to assess the safety and readiness for reopening emergency departments in each of these locations are training of staff and physicians, cohorting of staff, and minimal prevalence of COVID-19 in the community or surrounding communities,” the health authority’s public service announcement said.

   The SHA said work is underway to reopen the ERs in eight other communities: Kerrobert, Herbert, Preeceville, Davidson, Wolseley, Biggar, Leader and Oxbow.

   Broadview, Radville and Lanigan require additional time before the ER can open to the standard level of service.

   1. They worked to contain that which was not a problem.

3. Where does “I knew nothing about it until I saw it on Facebook” gets mentioned?

   1. Don’t ask

4. Why would training be required?
   Aren’t the people who work in these facilities health care ‘professionals’?
   Do they not know of protocols to mitigate contagious disease or viruses?
   Have they not been given information on protocols regarding the Wuhan Virus?
   This situation has been prevalent for over 2 months. What have they been doing while not being at work?
