The owner of Divas nightclub in Saskatoon says health officials have fined his business $14,000 for not following COVID-19 procedures, but claims officials originally approved the procedures the bar had in place. While declining to comment specifically on Divas Nightclub, the health authority said it takes all reasonable steps to contact a business listed in a release about potential exposures. "So far, as a sector, bars and restaurants have done really well," Shahab said at a COVID-19 news conference. It also said that a business was ordered to temporarily close "for having inadequate COVID-19 mitigation measures in place. The owners/operators will work with the Saskatchewan Health Authority to rectify these issues."
