The new cases are located in the following zones: Far North West, two; Far North East, one; North West, one; North Central, one; Saskatoon, three; Central East, one; Regina, four; and South East, three. One new case is pending residence information. Three cases pending residence have been assigned to the Far North East, 1; and North West, 2, zones.
