So many weird things about Saskatchewan but one of my favourites is that the objectively coolest clothing line in the province is produced by a harm reduction non-profit

83% SUN members report staffing shortage as fresh COVID wave looms. "If [nurses] just knew they were being heard - that somebody was listening to their concerns about what's happening in their facilities, what's happening with healthcare in this province"

“Ensuring we have the nurses needed in the public health care system, and that those nurses have the support they need, must be the key deliverable of any additional funding,” says @CFNUPresident Linda Silas on health care priorities. #NurseTwitter #canlab

Sask. Registered Nurses Call on @PremierScottMoe & @SKGov For Public Inquiry into Regina's Extendicare Parkside. At least 40 of our province’s seniors who were living at the facility have died - that's 20% of residents.

#Sask is now tied for highest active COVID cases per 1,000 residents, yet we continue to have one of the lowest rates of testing based on population in the country. Without widespread testing we don’t know how much virus is really out there. #skpoli #COVID19sk

[Brent Thoma @Brent_Thoma]

The final version of the Saskatchewan physicians' letter to @PremierScottMoe containing 402 physician signatures is available for download here. Thank you to everyone for their support - we hope to see action soon. https://t.co/xQqWvnM5Ll

"In the role of health care aide, nurse, or a doctor, I'm not sure if anyone is properly protected. Not everyone is getting the N95."

So tragic and avoidable. Canada needs to protect its health care workers. #cndpoli #canlab #covid19Canada

[SUNnurses @SUNnurses]

We support our lab techs, and all frontline #Sask health workers who are doing their very best, working non-stop, to combat this virus. Your endorsement is critically important. #skpoli #covid19sk

[Sask College of Family Physicians @SaskFamilyDocs]

As a representative in this multi-agency group, the SCFP endorses and reiterates the message from Dr. Konstantynowicz. We share the concerns of others that action is needed as COVID case numbers continue to increase across Saskatchewan. Thank you to the SMA for their leadership.

[SUNnurses @SUNnurses]

2016 census found communities with a pop of less than 5K account for 150K #Sask residents. People shouldn’t have to look up census no.s to know what's expected of them. Towns of similar size shouldn’t have to follow different rules based on an arbitrary cut-off point #covid19sk

[Linda Silas @CFNUPresident]

Just heard @CPHO_Canada admit « HCWs are exhausted » This is for everyone, it’s free—just sit back and re-energized w/ @megsoper we will be the #COVID19 #resilience #canlab @CFNU @UnitedNurses @SUNnurses @ontarionurses @NBNU_SIINB @NS_nurses @PEINursesUnion @RNU_NL @CNSA_AEIC

“If Premier Moe isn’t going to listen to physicians, nurses & health workers, then who is he listening to on how we’re going to make sure patients are kept safe in the province?” SUN Prez questioned.

Sask now has higher rate of cases/100k than Ontario & BC

[Dr. Kevin Smith @KevinSmithUHN]

With dramatically increasing Covid numbers we can’t forget that health care workers are among those most at risk. If we don’t bring this under control don’t be surprised if the caregivers are unable to come to work due to illness or quarantine. ACTION REQUIRED NOW!

[SUNnurses @SUNnurses]

COVID does not care if we live in a community of 5 or 5000. In #Sask, many of our seniors, the most vulnerable population, live in small towns. SUN members work in many long-term care & integrated facilities in towns & villages under 5000. We need province-wide mandatory masking.

[Canada's Nurses @CFNU]

Our second position statement of the day: employers need to provide and launder uniforms for staff in designated areas caring for #COVID19 patients. #COVID19Canada https://t.co/7pAyeWHvbm
