Confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus in Saskatchewan rose to 421 on Saturday after the province reported six new cases. Four of the new cases are in the north — two in Lloydminster and two in Prince Albert.
Both communities are dealing with coronavirus outbreaks after cases were confirmed at the Victoria Hospital in Prince Albert and the Lloydminster Hospital earlier this week.
The two other cases reported are in Regina and Saskatoon. The province is also reporting eight presumptive positive cases in La Loche.
These cases have yet to be confirmed by the province’s lab, so they are not included in the provincial total. La Loche is dealing with its own outbreak of COVID-19, which was declared on April 17.
