PLEA Resource – COVID-19 and The Law
June 15, 2020
During this difficult time, the Saskatchewan Access to Legal Information (SALI) team has compiled useful online legal information resources to assist the public. Each week, a resource will be highlighted on the Legal Sourcery blog.
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed life for most people. Governments have responded with laws and programs to keep people safe and to help them during this time. Understanding the new laws and programs is important. Understanding how this situation can affect your existing legal rights and obligations in many areas of life is also important.
PLEA has developed the COVID-19 & The Law resource to assist. Information includes:
- COVID-19 Supports: In response to the COVID 19 epidemic, all levels of government have introduced programs and supports for individuals and businesses.
- COVID-19 Restrictions: Understanding public health orders and recommendations is important for your safety and the safety of others.
- Additional law-related COVID-19 information on the following topics:
- Housing
- Municipal Responses to COVID-19
- Consumer Protection
- Making a Will
- Creating a Power of Attorney
- Social Services
- Employment Standards
