Saskatchewan is tightening public-health measures in its capital city over concerns about the spread of COVID-19 variants.

The province says a ban on household guests that was lifted two weeks ago is immediately back in place in Regina.

Due to increased #COVID19SK transmission risk in Regina and area, the following amendments are being made to the public health order.

This local public health order will remain in effect until April 5, 2021, and reviewed at that time.

And starting Sunday, restaurants and bars will not be allowed to serve customers and will have to switch to takeout or delivery.

Community halls, museums and "any non-essential indoor locations" will not be allowed to operate.

The province is not recommending travel in or out of the Regina area unless absolutely necessary.

It is advising anyone who can work from home to do so.
