The seven-day average of new COVID-19 case number is 42 (3.5 per 100,000).听 A chart comparing today's average to data collected over the past several months is available at听.

There were 2,240 COVID-19 tests processed in Saskatchewan on July 7, 2021.

To date, 929,868 COVID-19 tests have been processed in Saskatchewan.听 As of July 6, 2021, when other provincial and national numbers were available, Saskatchewan's per capita rate was 782,833 tests performed per million population.听 The national rate was 977,464.

Today's rise in COVID-19 cases is听largely听attributable to the previously reported outbreak in the Hatchet Lake area.听 Some First Nations, including Hatchet Lake, use a rapid testing machine provided by the federal government to support rapid case contact identification.听 Positive cases need to then be manually entered into the provincial system.听 However, data entry into the provincial system has been delayed while staff work on the immediate outbreak response.听 Additional staffing supports have been brought in and staff will be working on entering the COVID tests into the provincial system.听

While Hatchet Lake falls under the jurisdiction of the Northern Inter-Tribal Health Agency,听the SHA has reached out to offer assistance to the local health teams to support the outbreak response.听 Currently, voluntary mass testing is underway as part of active case finding, vaccinations are being offered door-to-door, and local public health officials and community leaders are actively working together on communicating risk, preventative measures and the importance of vaccinations.听 The听Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency听has also been engaged and is coordinating with the federal government in potentially securing further resources.听

As of July 7, 12,238 Variants of Concern have been identified by screening in Saskatchewan, reported in the following zones: Far North West, 328; Far North Central, 4; Far North East, 87; North West, 839; North Central, 634; North East, 80; Saskatoon, 2,127; Central West, 149; Central East, 651; Regina,听4,812; 麻豆视频 West, 409; 麻豆视频 Central, 889; and 麻豆视频 East, 1,148.听 There are 81 screened VOCs with residence pending.

Confirmed variant of concern cases may appear in both columns on the website, depending on testing for that case.听 Adding the cases identified by screening and those that have received whole genome sequencing may result in double-counting individual cases.

Limit Transmission of Variants of Concern in your Community - Get Vaccinated

The number of confirmed cases of the Delta variant has increased significantly in the last two weeks. 听The Delta variant is assumed to be 1.5 times more transmissible and twice as virulent as the Alpha variant.

Two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine are required for optimal protection against the Delta variant. 听Residents are strongly encouraged to get their first and second doses as soon as possible.

Getting tested also assists the monitoring of active cases and variants of concern in the province.听 Even if experiencing mild symptoms, stay home and seek a COVID-19 test.听 COVID-19 testing is available to all residents.听 You can receive a referral for COVID-19 testing through HealthLine 811 or a health care provider, and drive-thru testing sites are available without a referral seven days a week in Regina, Saskatoon, Yorkton and Prince Albert.听 Information on symptoms to watch for and how to get tested is available at听.

Enforcing Public Health Measures听

Public health orders are enforced by public health inspectors, the Ministry of Health enforcement team and police agencies.听 If compliance cannot be achieved through education, enforcement can include the issuance of tickets or the laying of charges.

On July 6, the Ministry of Health enforcement team issued an individual ticket for $2,800 for failure to comply with a public health order for failure to isolate.听 Note that under听the Health Information Protection Act, the Ministry of Health cannot disclose the names of individuals who have received fines.
