COVID-19 in Saskatchewan

Covid 19 masks 

From The Canadian Press

Saskatchewan has one of the highest rates of active COVID-19 cases per 100,000 in Canada. Another 248 infections and five more deaths for a total of more than 200 were reported.

Dr. Saqib Shahab, chief medical health officer, said 49 people have died since the start of January, and added that the most recent infections are likely to result in more hospitalizations and ICU admissions in the next few weeks.

Shahab said a continuing rise in cases can only be avoided if there is "universal compliance" with public-health advice. He cautioned that even a small number of rule-breakers could cause cases to surge.
