Sask. premier says health minister does not have COVID-19, despite media reports

SHARE ON:

Saskatchewan’s health minister has not tested positive for COVID-19, the premier clarified on Monday.

According to an email sent to local media, a story published by CBC News inaccurately reported that Paul Merriman had tested positive for COVID-19, since lifting all public health restrictions on July 11.

“CBC has been contacted given ample opportunity to correct this falsehood but as of now, they have not done so,” Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe wrote on Facebook and Twitter.

CBC News has since posted a correction on the article in question.

“An earlier version of this story stated Saskatchewan Health Minister Paul Merriman had tested positive for COVID-19 after that province lifted restrictions on July 11,” the correction reads. “This was incorrect; Merriman has not tested positive for COVID-19.”

The news article in question was published Monday morning by CBC Edmonton.
