The Government of Saskatchewan has reported 52 new cases of COVID-19.

The new cases in northern Saskatchewan are located in the North West (four), North Central (five), and three new cases have pending residence information.

In Saskatchewan 898 cases are considered active and 79,078 cases are considered recovered. Just over one-third (34.6 per cent) of new cases are in the age category of 11 or under. More than two-fifths (41.2 per cent) of new cases eligible for vaccination (aged 12 years and older) was fully vaccinated.

As of November 28, a total of 129 individuals are hospitalized; including 93 inpatient hospitalizations, and 36 ICU hospitalizations. Of the 129 patients, 88 (68.2 per cent) were not fully vaccinated.

There are five residents receiving out of province care in hospital. As these patients are receiving care out of province, this number is not included in the hospitalization counts in the dashboard. Since yesterday’s report, there has been one (1) repatriation.
