The latest Public Health Measures for Saskatchewan can be found here.
Detail
As of September 15, 2021, the following requirements will be applied to all attendees (which is meant to include public/members, staff and crew, artists, and panelists) to SaskMusic-coordinated events held in Saskatchewan:
- Show verification to entrance staff of having been double-vaccinated against COVID-19. This means you must have received your second dose at least 14 days prior to the day of the event.
This information will not be retained or recorded or used for any other purposes than permitting attendance to the specific event. A hand stamp can be provided for those wishing to enter/exit the event.
Either of the following will be accepted for verification, with a clearly visible name:
- A printed or digital copy of your immunization record (available from https://www.ehealthsask.ca/MySaskHealthRecord/MySaskHealthRecord), or the fully completed card you received when you got your vaccinations; along with
- A valid ID (photo drivers’ license, health card, or credit card) with a matching name.
Residents under 12 years of age are exempt from the proof of vaccination requirement but will be required to wear a face mask at all times when not eating or drinking.
- If it is not possible for you to be vaccinated for medical reasons (supported by a signed doctor’s letter), it is required that you provide proof of a rapid antigen negative test administered no later than 24 hours prior to the event, or a PCR test completed within 72 hours prior to the event.
- Effective Friday, September 17, 2021 an interim province-wide mandatory masking order will be implemented for all indoor public spaces.
- Agree to a temperature check on site if one is requested and agree to not attend events if showing symptoms and/or running a temperature above 100.4 F (38 C). Attendees must be fever-free without the help of medication.
- Not attend if attendee has been a close contact of anyone testing positive for COVID-19 in the 5 days prior to the event and have no symptoms.
- Adhere to all and any additional venue health and safety protocols.
- Attendees not adhering to COVID-19 safety requirements while attending an event will be asked to leave the event immediately without refund.
Guidelines are subject to change in response to health region updates and/or Government of Saskatchewan mandates.
