Released on March 14, 2020
Four new presumptive positive cases of COVID-19 have been identified in Saskatchewan, bringing the total number of cases in the province to six.
One resident, a health care worker in their 30s, has a recent history of travel to Nigeria and Germany, as well as Alberta. The individual is recovering in northern Saskatchewan.
Two presumptive cases are in their 40s and live in the same household in Regina. One recently travelled to Vancouver for a dental conference at which an attendee was later confirmed to have COVID-19. The two Saskatchewan residents were tested March 13 and are self-isolating while they recover.
The fourth new case is an individual in their 20s with a history of travel to Tennessee, U.S., who was tested in Regina and is now self-isolating and recovering in their home community.
Public Health officials are following up with individuals who had close contact with all of these cases and who may be at risk of developing COVID-19. You will be notified if you are a close contact and need to take further measures.
