Saskatchewan chief medical health officer says province is seeing resurgence of COVID-19 cases

Saskatchewan is experiencing a resurgence of COVID-19, but the province’s chief medical health officer says a sixth wave has not arrived.

“We may see waves of varying intensities if Omicron [remains] the variant that is circulating,” Shahab said. “We may see a bit of resurgence now, it may quiet down over the summer, and then a resurgence in the fall.” Shahab said that although the province has no mandates in place, people need to remain vigilant throughout April and May. He said the resurgence is being fuelled by more people mixing at work, recreationally and socially.

Data from the Ministry of Health shows hospitalizations have risen 18 per cent in the last three weeks with 354 people in hospital, including 20 in intensive care. “We’re getting farther and farther out from boosters or second doses ... and it increases the risk for those getting infected,” NDP Leader Ryan Meili said.
