The provincial government is looking to help businesses make sense of things during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Government of Saskatchewan announced Monday that it has launched the Business Response Team, which will help companies find out what program supports are available to them through both the provincial and federal governments.

“COVID-19 has caused significant economic hardships for businesses as we all work together to reduce the spread of this virus,” Jeremy Harrison, Saskatchewan’s trade and export development minister, said in a media release.

“We know businesses have questions and this response team will help them navigate this uncertain situation.”

Businesses can contact the team by calling 1-844-800-8688, by emailing supportforbusiness@gov.sk.ca or by visiting this website.
