Ten new coronavirus cases were reported in Saskatchewan on Friday, bringing the overall total to 341. It’s the biggest one-day jump in new cases in over two weeks.
The last time 10 or more new cases were reported in one day was on April 7, when 11 new cases were reported. The biggest jump in cases has been in the far north.
Officials reported 27 total cases, with 25 of those active. One case in the far north is considered presumptive, while a presumptive case reported on Thursday is now confirmed as positive.
Five people are currently in hospital — one in Regina, one in Saskatoon and one in the north are receiving in-patient care. Two people in Saskatoon are in intensive care.
