A total of 8,392 vaccines were administered on Friday, with the vast majority of these once again being used as second doses. Only 732 new first shots were given out.
Seventy-one per cent of Saskatchewan’s population ages 12 and up have received their first shot, and 46 per cent have been fully vaccinated.
The new cases are in the far north east (14), far north west (four), north west (five), north central (two), Saskatoon (seven), Regina (nine), south west (one), south central (two) and south east (two) zones. Three new cases are still waiting for residence information, according to the provincial government’s online COVID-19 dashboard.
The seven-day average of daily new cases rose slightly to 36, or 2.9 per 100,000 population.
Another 33 recoveries were not enough to outweigh the number of new cases, so active cases in the province rose slightly to 421.
Active cases have been rising in the far north west and far north central zones over the last month. Case numbers in every other zone have dropped, with the exception of the far north east, which has held steady.
The number of active cases in Saskatoon have plummeted from 406 on June 3 to 84 on Saturday. Likewise, Regina’s cases fell from 216 to just 73. But the far north west has jumped from 42 active cases to 54 in that same time frame, while the far north central went from three to six cases.
No new deaths were reported, which means Saskatchewan’s pandemic death toll remains at 568.
