Saskatchewan continues to see a decline in daily COVID-19 cases. On Monday the province reported on its online health dashboard 97 new cases, bringing the total active cases to 1,201.
In comparison, the province reported 110 new daily cases on Sunday.
However, there have also been two more deaths due to the coronavirus. Now 896 Saskatchewan residents in total have died due to the virus.
Nearly 28 per cent of new cases are in the age category of 11 or under, and another nearly 28 per cent of the new cases are in the 40 to 59 years of age category.
The province says half of the new cases who were eligible for vaccination were fully vaccinated.
