An individual at the Meadow Lake Co-Op Service Centre has tested positive for coronavirus (COVID-19). After further assessment of the situation the Saskatchewan Health Authority public health officials are advising customers who have recently been at the centre on Sunday April 26 or in the morning of Tuesday April 28 to initially self-monitor daily for symptoms of covid-19. If any of the following symptoms appear during self-monitoring, they should then self-isolate immediately and call HealthLine 811 or their community health centre for evaluation and advice:
· Fever
· Headache
· Chills
· Cough
· Shortness of breath
· Sore throat
· Runny nose
· Diminished sense of smell or taste.
Self-isolation is an important way of preventing COVID-19 from spreading in Saskatchewan.
