Re: COVID-19 Positive Case

Dear Saskatoon Adult Soccer Players, Team Contacts, and Spectators,

This notice is to inform our Saskatoon Adult Soccer (SAS) membership that a case of COVID-19 has been diagnosed within our league. Those in the affected mini-league have been notified separately via an additional email. If you did not receive a specific email your mini-league was not affected.

The participants of the affected mini-league have not participated in any soccer activities since the case was brought forward, and the mini-league has been cancelled for the duration of the 1^st session.

To protect the privacy of the individuals, we will not release any personal information, and ask that you respect the privacy of others. We have worked with Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) and the Business Response Team (BRT) to ensure all of the necessary measures are in place to protect all participants.

Individuals who were present at Forest Park 4 on

Friday, June 11 and Saturday, June 12 should self-monitor for 14 days. 

The risk of exposure to anyone not considered a close contact is low. For those who have been in close contact with the case, the SHA will contact you directly and provide direction.
