City of Regina facilities will be included in the list of establishments that will be requiring proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test for public access come Friday.
Anyone over the age of 12 will be required to show proof of full vaccination or a negative test to access city facilities as of Oct. 1, 2021.
Accepted forms of proof of vaccination include:
- Wallet cards received at time of immunization
- A printed copy of your MySaskHealthRecord vaccine certificate (with or without a QR code) or a ‘screenshot’ of your vaccine certificate (with or without a QR code) saved to your device
- An earlier version of your MySaskHealthRecord<http://www.ehealthsask.ca/MySaskHealthRecord/MySaskHealthRecord> COVID-19 vaccine certificate
- A COVID-19 vaccine printout from Saskatchewan Health Authority Public Health
- A QR code/MySaskHealthRecord vaccine certificate uploaded to SK Vax Wallet app which will be available free from Google Play or Apple App stores
- Official proof of vaccine documents from other provinces may be considered
Individuals who do not have proof of vaccination have the option to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 rapid antigen or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test result from within the last 72 hours. These tests are to be completed at the expense of the individual.
Self-administered take-home rapid tests will not be accepted as valid proof of a negative COVID-19 test result.
In addition to proof of vaccination or negative test, photo ID will be required from individuals ages 18 and older. Youth between the ages of 12 and 17 will need to show ID as well, unless accompanied by an adult with proof of vaccination and an ID. Youth are allowed to present photo ID, a birth certificate or a health services card.
Masks are required in all indoor spaces regardless of vaccination or testing status.
There are some instances where proof of vaccination or a negative test will not be required.
Neither will be necessary to board Regina Transit, nor to use a public washroom, said city manager Chris Holden during a news conference on Wednesday. Children under 12 years old and thus not eligible for vaccination are also exempt.
At arenas, the requirement applies for ticketed sporting events only.
For major recreation centres like the Sportsplex or one of the leisure centres, the rules apply for the cafeteria, fitness and aquatic areas for those over 12 years old. Those under 18 participating in sports and recreational activities like sports or swimming lessons are exempt.
At community centres, proof of vaccination or negative test is required for fitness activities only. When visiting city hall or a city golf course, it is only required for the cafeteria.
