COVID-19 testing should be increased

same? The very next year the MLAS took that 3.5 per cent back as their wage hike and they have enjoyed an increase every year since.

Health care workers always have, and always will, put the needs of patients first. Because they care.

The failure to create a work standard which realizes safe staffing levels in all health care facilities, leaving these facilities with unsafe staffing, is of detriment to the patients, clients and long-term care-home residents of this province.

Much needed tests, activities to keep the mind and body active, feeding, bathing, assistance with activities of daily living are delayed. Health care workers have no control when there is no minimum standards for staffing levels. We need our government to care.

I find it disappointing that, at a time Saskatchewan is allowing more and more businesses to open with fewer and fewer restrictions for them, that the government and Premier Moe chose to eliminate reporting of cases on the weekend.

Right now there should be double the testing being done, including roadside testing as well as cases needing to be reported on a daily basis.

If we get a big outbreak in a store, the casino, a bar, etc. during this time, it is too late to wait three days to let the public know about it. I am sure it is another way for Premier Moe to try to look good for his upcoming election. He is not being transparent this way and I hope the population of Saskatchewan takes this into account when the elections occurs. I am afraid we are going to get a big outbreak as I am seeing less and less social distancing of people, even in grocery stores. Ed Erickson, Saskatoon
