The Saskatchewan Health Authority says there were no COVID-19 related deaths or ICU admissions of any resident who had received both doses of vaccine in June, but they are reminding the public the fight is not over.

In June, 21 Saskatchewan residents were admitted to the ICU due to COVID-19, and 15 residents died from the illness.

“Even with public health orders being lifted on July 11, the pandemic is not over,” says the SHA in a news release. “As much progress as we’ve made towards immunizing the province we will continue to see COVID-19 transmission over the summer, particularly among unvaccinated populations. The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) encourages all residents to be immunized with both doses as soon as you are eligible, protecting yourself, your loved ones and your community from serious illness and death.”

Continuing to get tested when experiencing even mild symptoms is also an important part of a multi-layered approach to personal protection against COVID-19 including choosing to wearing a mask, washing your hands often, staying home if you are unwell and getting immunized when it’s available to you.
