Saskatchewan reported 53 new cases of COVID-19 Saturday, although the low case numbers are contributed to incomplete test data downloaded into the provincial database. Those numbers will be reflected in Sunday’s daily update. Regina accounted for 16 of the 53 cases followed by the Central East zone with 14. 168 people are in hospital with 48 in an ICU. There are also an additional 12 Saskatchewan residents in ICUs outside of the province. Two new deaths were reported and the seven-day average is now at 117.
