Saskatchewan has 17 new confirmed cases of COVID-19, and one presumptive case, says the Ministry of Health. This brings the province’s total to 44 cases of COVID-19 with 25 cases being confirmed and 19 cases remaining presumptive.
The new cases involve people who are 20 years of age or older, with the exception of one case which is still under investigation, says the Ministry of Health.
The largest percentage of these cases are male at 65 per cent while females are at 35 per cent. Public health says they are continuing their contact investigation in relation to the new cases.
The new jump in cases comes from the province’s ability to confirm testing for COVID-19 at its Roy Romanow Provincial Laboratory (RRPL).
