The latest update showed 170 new cases from 1,681 tests…the smallest numbers since August 26 and August 17, respectively. Saskatchewan’s total COVID-19-related deaths remain at 817. Add in 311 recoveries and the province’s active case count is down to 2,822. That number went below 3,000 in Saskatchewan in Sunday’s update for the first time since September 4. There are 293 virus patients in hospital, including 71 in an I-C-U. That figure doesn’t include nine I-C-U patients transferred to Ontario as of Sunday.
