The number of cases of COVID-19 ballooned on March 28, with 30 new cases reported.

That brings the provincial total to 134 cases.

Six people are hospitalized, with three in the intensive care unit.

A news release states that at least seven cases are a result of local transmission. The rest are travel-related or cluster-related due to exposure at mass gatherings.

In fact, a number of cases are related to a Christopher Lake snowmobile rally dinner held on March 14. One person who attended the event tested positive on March 25. Since then, 18 additional cases have been linked to the event. 

Just five cases involve people 19 years of age and under. All other cases involve adults.

Provincially, 58 cases are in the 20-44 age range; 49 are in the 45-64 range; and 22 are in the 65-plus range.

Fifty-seven per cent of the cases are males and 43 per cent are females.

Four people have now recovered.
