Jun 29, 2021 | 1:53 PM

There are 52 new cases of COVID-19 to report in Saskatchewan on Tuesday, bringing the provincial total to 48,823 cases.

And as the government urged the public to get both jabs there was another all too familiar reminder of the seriousness of the pandemic: the two news deaths being reported today were in northern zones.

The new cases are located in the following zones: Far North West, seven; Far North East, one; North West, 12; North Central, nine; Saskatoon, eight; Central West, two; and Regina, 13. Two previous cases pending residence information have now been assigned to the following zones: Far North East, one; and Regina, one.

Two new deaths were reported today. One death was reported in the 60 to 69 age group from the North West zone and one death was reported in the 70 to 79 age group from the North Central zone.

The seven-day average of new COVID-19 case number is 46 (3.7 per 100,000).
