The government of Saskatchewan has made a third update to its plan to reopen the economy by including guidelines for additional businesses to operate safely during the novel coronavirus pandemic.
Farmers’ markets, which were previously excluded from the plan, can reopen on May 19 when Phase 2 begins. Public and farmers’ markets will be required to enforce physical distancing measures and enhance food hygiene.
Only take-away meals will be provided from food carts and food trucks, and liquor is only allowed in sealed retail containers.
Vendors are encouraged to pre-package food to minimize direct contact by customers. Prepared foods like breads and muffins will be stored away from customers.
