YORKTON TURNS THE CORNER AFTER OUTBREAKS
Saskatchewan’s Chief Medical Health Officer said the Yorkton area has “turned the corner” after outbreaks were declared at the end of September.
Dr. Saqib Shahab said active cases in the area have declined.
“While Yorkton had quite a high active case rate two to four weeks ago, they’re now seeing a declining active case rate” Shahab said.
“Theyre getting over their initial several outbreaks that they had. This is again, what we hope will happen now in Prince Albert, Saskatoon and Regina, which has seen an increase in case numbers.”
Dr. Shahab attributed the decline to the community taking preventative measures, such as isolating if symptoms develop, getting tested quickly and keeping a list of close contacts. He said these strategies help break the chain of transmission.
Central east zone four, which includes Yorkton, had 27 active cases as of Friday.
NO DIRECT LINK FOR RISING REGINA CASES
The government reported 72 active cases in Regina, adding nine new cases on Friday. However, Dr. Shahab said the rise in cases us not linked to one specific event, like in Saskatoon or Prince Albert.
“As far as I’m aware no single mass gathering event, but just a consistent increase in transmission,” Dr. Shahab said.
He said the transmission in the community can be attributed to travel, both interprovincial and international, and through secondary exposures.
As cases continue to rise, Dr. Shahab suggested everyone revisit how they go about day-to-day activities like shopping or eating at a restaurant.
