What to expect at some Regina locations after COVID measures lift Sunday

As Saskatchewan prepares to open up, 980 CJME spoke to several businesses in Regina to see if they will go with the flow of following provincial mandates or continue calling for the use of masks and social distancing.

Here’s what we learned.
