Saskatchewan reports six new confirmed cases of COVID-19, bringing the total in the province to 72 as of March 24. Of the 72 confirmed cases, provincial government officials said two are 19 years of age and under, 59 are between 20 and 64 and 11 are 65 and older.
They added that 60 per cent of the cases are men and 40 per cent are women. Dr. Saqib Shahab, Saskatchewan’s chief medical health officer, confirmed Tuesday that four cases are without clear exposure history: one in the Regina area, two in the Saskatoon area, and one in central Saskatchewan.
The four cases of unknown exposure give evidence of community transmission; however, they are still under investigation, officials said.
