There are 33 new cases Thursday in Saskatchewan. Of the 2,232 cases in the province to date, 271 are considered active. Twenty five of the new cases are as a result of contact to known cases and/or gatherings. Eight people are in hospital.

As of midnight the private gathering sizes will be reduced with the allowable limit in the home at 15. The province says it doesn’t impact restaurants, licensed establishments, banquet halls as well as weddings, funerals and religious gatherings because of the restrictions already in place for those venues in regards to seating and physical distancing.
