The government of Saskatchewan provided another update Sunday on COVID-19 numbers in the province.

4 new cases were announced, which brings the provincial number to 353, with 61 of those being considered active.

The number of recoveries remains the same at 288, and there are currently 5 people in hospital. 3 receiving inpatient care, and 2 in intensive care.

Of the 353 cases in the province:

  • 138 cases are travellers;
  • 148 are contacts or linked to mass gatherings;
  • 35 have no known exposures; and
  • 32 are under investigation by local public health.


Overall in Saskatchewan:

  • 38 of the cases are health care workers; however, the source of the infections may not be related to health care in all instances.
  • 150 of the cases are from the Saskatoon area, 74 from the Regina area, 68 from the north, 15 from the south, 11 from the central region and 35 from the far north.

  • 126 cases are in the 20-39 age range; 120 are in the 40-59 age range; 67 are in the 60-79 age range; and 11 are in the 80-plus range.
  • 51 per cent of the cases are males and 49 per cent are females.
  • Four deaths related to COVID-19 have been reported to date.


To date, 27,884 COVID-19 tests have been performed in the province. Saskatchewan’s per capita rate of testing was 21,880 people tested per million population, which exceeds the national rate of 17,812 people tested per million population.

With the government of Saskatchewan softening isolation rules slightly, there are still rules and regulations you need to keep in mind. Gatherings are limited to no more than 10 people and all must practice physical distancing.

With extreme caution and under the following conditions, one or two close families may form an extended household group:

  • The families or friends must remain consistent.  Do not visit different families or friends every day.
  • If you are going to create an extended household group, consider if any member of the group has any chronic health conditions that would put them at greater risk, or if they are in close contact with someone who could be vulnerable.
  • Gatherings must still follow the public health order and be no more than 10 people.
  • Stay home if you are ill.
  • Maintain physical distancing where possible.

You should always be aware of who you have been in contact with over the past two weeks.  These are the people who would need to be contacted by public health if you were to test positive for COVID-19.
