Of the new cases, three are in Regina, two in Saskatoon, and one in the central west region.

19 more recoveries were announced Wednesday as well, and there are 9 people in hospital, with eight receiving inpatient care, and one in intensive care.

The government of Saskatchewan also provided more information on the newly available drive-thru testing sites.

COVID-19 Testing 

COVID-19 testing is available to anyone who requests it.  A referral for testing can be made by contacting HealthLine 811, your physician or nurse practitioner if you are experiencing worsening symptoms.  If you require urgent care, call 911.

Priority testing is available for those who are symptomatic, health care workers and first responders, teachers and school staff. If you are asymptomatic and planning to travel but require a test, please allow a minimum of seven days from the date of your test through to notification of results. You can also view your results directly on MySaskHealthRecord.

Drive-through testing sites that do not require a referral are operating in Regina and Saskatoon.  This is in addition to the testing and assessment centres currently open.
