There are 25 Saskatchewan I-C-U patients in Ontario hospitals with one having returned to the province yesterday. Otherwise, Wednesday’s update showed 173 new cases from 2,408 tests for a 7.2 per cent positive rate. In addition, there were 234 recoveries and three COVID-19-related deaths, leaving 1,765 active cases. Plus, 1,662 of 2,328 doses of vaccine on Tuesday made the recipient fully vaccinated, boosting the Saskatchewan total over 800-thousand at 800,031.
