This total now includes two cases of individuals who tested positive in Saskatchewan but reside outside of the province and are under investigation.
A total of 643 people, or nearly 86 per cent of those diagnosed with the virus, have recovered.
There are three COVID-19-related inpatient hospitalizations: one in Saskatoon and two in the south. There are currently no patients with COVID-19 in intensive care.
Fifty-three people have been diagnosed with COVID-19 in the south region; 34 of the cases are considered active. The majority of cases in the south have been traced to an outbreak in southwest Saskatchewan this month.

Of the 751 cases in the province, 157 cases are travellers, 452 are community contacts (including mass gatherings), 98 have no known exposures and 44 are under investigation by local public health.
