Across Saskatchewan, there 187 people in hospital. Of those, 31 are in intensive care.
The vaccine roll-out continues to ramp up. There were at least 1,089 doses delivered Saturday, though some doses in the northern regions may not have been counted in that total.
So far, 7,929 vaccines have been delivered. Of the initial Pfizer doses, 2,793 were in Saskatoon and 476 were in Prince Albert. In Regina, there have been 2,069 initial Pfizer doses and 1,008 second doses.
The Moderna doses were delivered in the far northwest (596), far northeast (809), northeast (97) and far north-central (81) areas.
