Ensuring the safety and security of our guests and employees at SIGA Casinos is paramount. While our casinos remain open at this time, we are closely monitoring the status of the coronavirus situation and are taking extra precautions to protect the health and security of our employees and guests.

The Public Health Agency of Canada has assessed the public health risk associated with COVID-19 as low for the general population – however, we understand this could change quickly. We are closely monitoring developments and statements from public health officials and are taking actions to comply with their directives based on the best available evidence as this situation evolves. There is no issue more important to us than making sure we manage this situation as effectively as possible so you continue to feel confident visiting us.

To prevent the spread of the virus, the Public Health Agency of Canada has asked individuals to take the following precautions:

· Practice proper cough and sneezing etiquette (into the bend of your elbow);
· Wash your hands often with soap and water. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer;
· Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands;
· Maintain safe food practices; and
· Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

Our actions at SIGA Casinos are focused on these precautions. Here are some of the safety measures we are taking at this time:

· Increasing the frequency of cleaning high touch surfaces throughout our properties, such as table games, slot machines, restaurant facilities, washrooms, hand rails, to name just a few. These are already cleaned on a daily basis but employees will now clean them on a more frequent basis throughout the day. This also goes for hand rails, seats, and other surfaces in our shuttle buses, which remain in operation at this time.
· We are also increasing our supply of EPA-registered disinfectants or those containing at least 70% alcohol for cleaning.
· Posting signage and installing hand sanitizing stations in public areas throughout our properties and back of house for SIGA team members. We are also increasing our supply of hand sanitizers.
· Increasing communications and reminders with our employees, partners and guests on important health and safety measures i.e. proper hand washing and hygiene protocols as the best defence against coronavirus, colds and influenza.
· Directing employees to stay home and seek medical attention if they’re feeling unwell, and mandating that any employees returning from international travel self-isolate for 14 days. If an employee tests positive for COVID-19, we have implemented a paid leave to cover their absence for the 14 days. If an employee has recently travelled outside of Canada, we are requiring them to observe the 14 day self-isolation period or get tested and receive a negative result from a medical professional before returning to work.
· Postponing all scheduled events in our Event Centre venues with capacities over 250 people, for the next 30 days, to align with directives and recommendations from the Saskatchewan Ministry of Health. Any tickets that have been purchased for our events will be honoured when the dates are rescheduled.

We strongly encourage anyone who’s feeling ill in any way to avoid public places and seek medical attention as necessary. We are and will continue to follow all guidelines and recommendations set out by the Saskatchewan Government and public health officials, and are re-assessing our approaches on a daily basis. The health and safety of our guests and employees is our top priority.

SIGA Casinos thank you for your ongoing patronage and loyalty. We look forward to welcoming you soon.

In response to the updated recommendations coming from the Saskatchewan Government and Saskatchewan Health Authority this afternoon, and the additional presumptive case of COVID-19 in Saskatoon, SIGA has made the decision to postpone all scheduled events in our Event Centre venues with capacities over 250 people, for the next 30 days. We will assess the situation and provide updates closer to that time.

The health and well-being of our employees and guests is a top priority for SIGA and we feel it is in their best interests and that of the public to postpone our events until a later date. We ask for your patience and understanding at this time. We will continue to follow all recommendations from the Saskatchewan Health Authority and the Canadian Public Health Agency.

Any tickets that have been purchased for our events will be honoured when the dates are rescheduled.
