A member of the Central Saskatchewan Area of Narcotics Anonymous said the organization is now holding online meetings to help limit the spread of the novel coronavirus.
The member — who Global News has decided not to identify due to the anonymous nature of the organization — said all in-person meetings were suspended because the government limit on public gatherings of 25 persons (with proper social distancing) would have prevented people from getting the addictions support they need.
On Tuesday the government lowered the number to 10. The member told Global News the CSANA is now hosting meetings through a video chat platform so that people could still attend meetings.
