For the second time in a week, Saskatchewan has recorded its fewest number of daily, new COVID-19 cases in more than two months.
Monday’s dashboard update from the provincial government website reported 100 new cases from 1,297 novel coronavirus tests performed on Sunday. Both of those figures are the lowest in Saskatchewan since August 16. The seven-day average for new COVID-19 cases is down to 149 and there was one new virus-related fatality in the province Monday. Add in 237 recoveries and the active case count is 1,527, from which there are 191 individuals in hospital, including 51 infections being treated in an I-C-U. That I-C-U number doesn’t include 18 Saskatchewan residents being treated in an Ontario hospital. Sunday saw 1,732 doses of COVID-19 vaccine administered with 1,244 of those shots making the recipient fully vaccinated.
