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.

Meanwhile, there are still 12 residents in out-of-province ICUs. That number is not being included on the hospitalizations list on the daily Saskatchewan COVID-19 dashboard.
