Sask. businesses adapt to proof of COVID-19 vaccination, negative test mandate

As of Friday, a variety of businesses in Saskatchewan now require visitors to show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test for entry, forcing owners and staff to make some adjustments.

The proof will be required at businesses including indoor restaurants, bars, gyms, bars, event venues, sporting events and more. 

At The Tipsy Samurai restaurant in Regina, owner Tony Yang said preparing his staff has been fairly straight forward.

The restaurant has downloaded the QR code apps created by the Government of Saskatchewan onto their point of sale system and have put up signs to alert customers coming through the doors. 

“Our customers I’ve been chatting with, they’re all accepting and willing to cooperate with us,” Yang said. “I don’t see any difficulty.”
