The government of Saskatchewan provided clarity on an emergency order motion voted on Friday by the City of Regina and said it would be reviewing, and likely cancelling it.

The province's news release on Sunday warned municipalities that the province will take action if any municipality issues an order contrary to provincial emergency standards.

The provincial restrictions apply to the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association and the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities.

"If a municipality implements an order which provides contrary standards, the province will take measures to ensure that the provincial emergency measure takes precedence," the news release said.

"During this time of great uncertainty, it is of the utmost importance that we provide certainty to Saskatchewan residents and make every effort to minimize confusion," said Lori Carr, minister of government relations, in the statement.

She said the ministry of government relations has been in contact with both the City of Regina and the Town of Gravelbourg, who both made their own emergency declarations, to clarify their position.

In a news conference Sunday afternoon, Carr said the government will be conducting an order in council to cancel the city's order.

Carr said the province currently does not have any restrictions around retail operations and said those could remain open for business.

The following previously announced restrictions are effective throughout Saskatchewan:

Public gatherings of more than 25 people in one room are prohibited except where two-metre distancing between people can be maintained; workplace and meeting settings where people are distributed into multiple rooms or buildings; and retail locations (ie. grocery stores, pharmacies, gas stations).

The closure of all nightclubs, bars, lounges and similar facilities. Take out of alcohol or food products is permitted with two-metre distancing between customers and the delivery of alcohol or food products.
