Saskatchewan has been battered by COVID-19's fourth wave, struggling with a surge in cases and deaths and a health care system that is on the brink of being overwhelmed — a cautionary tale, the beginnings of which can be traced back to the summer when public health measures ceased, according to one expert.

, followed by a proof-of-vaccination plan for restaurants, movie theatres and indoor venues, as well as government employees.Despite calls for the province to place limits on the size of gatherings, Premier Scott Moe has resisted,In a statement emailed to CTV News last week, the Saskatchewan government stated that they would not be limiting gathering sizes.

Muhajarine explained that Saskatchewan’s population is largely spread among smaller rural settings and towns, and that there is a divide in terms of vaccine uptake in rural communities versus urban ones. The province is relying on surge capacity — in September, anticipating the system being overwhelmed, the province moved to increase the provincial ICU capacity to 175 by adding more beds.

“We are just at the very brink of having to triage, having medical people having to decide who gets to live and who gets to not live because of the capacity issues that they have,” Muhajarine said. In the summer, weeks passed with no public briefings on the COVID-19 situation in the province, even as cases started to rise in August.

“You would think that in a fourth wave like this, […] leading [the country] in our death rates and hospitals pushed to the brink, the Minister of Health will be appearing every day, every single day of the week,” Muhajarine said.He believes that in order for Saskatchewan to rise out of the fourth wave, the government needs to step up.
