Saskatchewan residents now have a better idea of the number of COVID-19 cases in their immediate geographic area.
The government has launched new maps that provide more detailed information on the location of cases in the province.
One map has 13 regions with comprehensive statistical information for COVID-19 activity in that region. Please note these 13 regions do not have the same geographic boundaries as the previous six regions.
The second map is broken down further into 32 zones. It will provide new positive and current active COVID-19 case numbers for these areas.
There are nine new cases of COVID-19 to report in Saskatchewan, as of Aug. 4.
The new cases are located in the Regina (4), Saskatoon (2), North West (1), North Central (1), and South West (1) regions.
There are now 1,368 reported cases, including 253 active cases. There are 33 active cases in the South Central region, which includes Moose Jaw.
Eight more people have recoered, increasing the provincial total to 1,097 recoveries.
Fourteen people are in hospital. Seven people are receiving inpatient care — three in Saskatoon, three in the South West, and one in Regina. Seven people are in intensive care — five in Saskatoon and two in Regina.
