More adult players are now investing in the protective equipment.
The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) is looking for lab samples from Prince Albert that it says were stolen.
On Wednesday, a third-party courier vehicle containing the samples was stolen. While police later found the vehicle, the majority of the packages containing the lab samples have yet to be recovered.
Staff are reviewing health records associated with the missing samples. The SHA said it will directly contact patients and their health-care provider to inform them of the incident and outline the next steps.
It is being treated as a privacy breach given that personal health information is on the sample.
Anyone who comes across packages labelled for delivery to a SHA lab is asked to not open the packages or, if the packages have been opened, to not touch the specimens. They’re asked to call HealthLine 8-1-1 so that appropriate arrangements can be made to recover them.
