SASK. WATCHES AS NORTH DAKOTA CONTINUES TO FLATTEN THE COVID-19 CURVE
Saskatchewan officials are keeping an eye on happenings south of the border. Not just on the transfer of power from former president Donald Trump to President Joe Biden, but also North Dakota’s apparent success in overcoming the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.
During the province’s COVID-19 update on Tuesday, Premier Scott Moe said he has been in contact with North Dakota’s Governor Doug Burgum about the struggles their respective jurisdictions have faced.
“Ive talked to Governor Burgum a number of times throughout this pandemic, with respect to some of the challenges that weve seen on north end and south of the border,” Moe said. “Their numbers have come down markedly, and that is through people doing the right thing and taking their individual responsibility very, very seriously.”
