The Saskatchewan Ministry of Health says there were 364 lab-confirmed COVID cases last week, slightly lower than the previous week.

There is also positive news about deaths and hospitalizations, both which saw declines. A total of 232 people were in hospital with COVID, including only six in the intensive care unit.

The number of deaths was nine, even though one occurred in February and was only reported last week. The east-central and north-central regions each had three COVID related deaths. Five were 80 years or older, one was in their seventies, one in their sixties and two were between the ages of 40 and 59.
