There are three people currently in hospital due to COVID-19. Two cases are in Saskatoon, while one case is in intensive care in Regina.
The province says 12 more people have recovered. This means 48 people in Saskatchewan have recovered from COVID-19.
The ministry of health says 12,112 COVID-19 tests have been conducted, which is the second highest rate per capita in the country among the provinces.

• 102 cases are travellers.
