Health officials in Saskatchewan reported two new coronavirus cases on Friday, raising the overall total to 307. Six people are in hospital — three in Regina and two in Saskatoon are receiving in-patient care, and one person in Regina is in intensive care.
Saskatchewan’s chief medical health officer, Dr. Saqib Shahab, also updated the public health order to protect vulnerable seniors.
Under the revised order, employees at long-term care and personal care homes are only allowed to work at one facility. Care homes can apply for approval from a medical health officer to allow staff to work in more than one facility if they are unable to ensure proper staffing levels as a result of the order.
