Public health continues to investigate recent cases in Yorkton.  Initial findings suggest that most recent cases may share a common source of exposure at a local fitness facility.  As in all parts of Saskatchewan, Yorkton residents or individuals who have visited the area should remain vigilant and follow all public health advice.

Outbreaks have been declared at Yorkton Regional High School, and Pumphouse Athletic Club.

An outbreak has also been declared in the Yorkton Regional Health Centre. The source of the outbreak in the hospital appears to be community transmission. Seventeen cases have been identified in the community including three health care workers in the facility. All health care workers who have been identified as close contacts with the confirmed cases are being tested as the contact investigation continues.
