There are 13 new cases of COVID-19 to report in Saskatchewan on July 17, bringing the total to 936 cases. 

The new cases are located in the Far North (1), North (1), Central (8), South (1) and Regina (2) regions. Of the 936 reported cases, 128 are considered active.  A total of 793 people have recovered.

There are two new recoveries, one in the Far North and one in the South. However, three cases were removed from recovered status and reactivated. This can happen if public health determines an individual has relapsed or developed additional symptoms.

Twelve people are in hospital. Eleven people are receiving inpatient care; seven in Saskatoon, two in the South, one in the North and one in the Central region. One person is in intensive care in the South.

Two new domestic flights have been added to the list of flights on which a person with COVID-19 travelled:

•       WS605 Toronto-Regina on July 6. 

All passengers who have travelled on a domestic flight with a confirmed case of COVID-19, and who have not also travelled on an international flight, are asked to self-monitor for symptoms for 14 days after their arrival. All international travellers must self-isolate upon return to Canada.

COVID-19 testing is now available to anyone who requests it, regardless of whether they have symptoms or not.  A referral for testing can be made by contacting HealthLine 811.
