The death toll from COVID-19 in Saskatchewan has reached 10.

The government says one death under investigation has been confirmed as being COVID-19 related. Both are from the Far North region of the province; one is in their 60’s and the other in their 80’s.

Two of the three new cases in the province are in the Far North and one is in the Regina region. The provincial total now sits at 637.

With spring seeming to finally be here to stay, the province reminds Saskatchewan residents that the public health order limiting both public and private gatherings to no more than 10 people is still in effect. And that limit still applies to your extended household group.

Of the 637 cases in the province:

141 cases are travellers;

363 are community contacts (including mass gatherings);

77 have no known exposures; and

56 are under investigation by local public health.

Overall in Saskatchewan:

50 cases are health care workers; however, the source of the infections may not be related to health care in all instances.

253 of the cases are from the Far North, 167 are from the Saskatoon area, 111 from the North, 78 from the Regina area, 16 from the South and 12 from the Central region.

93 cases involve people 19 years of age and under, while the remainder are adults.

227 cases are in the 20-39 age range; 195 are in the 40-59 age range; 104 are in the 60-79 age range; and 18 are in the 80-plus range.

51 per cent of the cases are females and 49 per cent are males.

10 deaths related to COVID-19 have been reported to date.

To date, 45,118 COVID-19 tests have been performed in the province. As of May 25, 2020, when other provincial and national numbers were last available from the Public Health Agency of Canada, Saskatchewan’s per capita rate was 34,492 people tested per million population. The national rate was 39,920 people tested per million population.
