Saskatchewan reported seven new cases of COVID-19 and two presumptive cases on Sunday afternoon, bringing the total of reported cases in the province to 298.
The presumptive positives are due to more testing machines being added in Saskatchewan. According to health officials, the first 10 positive specimens identified by the new machine at Roy Romanow Provincial Laboratory (RRPL) must be considered presumptive positives and require confirmation from their second machine.
In addition, Meadow Lake has started testing and these cases are considered presumptive positives until confirmed by the RRPL. [ Sign up for our Health IQ newsletter for the latest coronavirus updates ] Questions about COVID-19?
