Health officials also urged people not to travel across the Saskatchewan-Alberta border in the north.

In a news release issued Saturday, the Saskatchewan Health Authority said they are monitoring new cases of COVID-19 found in the north, saying the cases are linked to travel between the regions. This comes just days after Premier Scott Moe announced that he was extending the province's state of emergency for a further two weeks, taking it to the end of April.

Justin Trudeau also announced Saturday that Canada has extended its border closure with the United States for 30 days. The closure restricts non-essential travel across the border.
