All is clear on the COVID-19 front in Manitoba Tuesday, while yet more cases have been reported in Saskatchewan - 11 new cases, almost all in the far north.
Ten of the 11 Saskatchewan cases reported were found in the far north. The communities of origin of these cases are unknown. The new cases bring Saskatchewan up to 753 total cases of COVID-19 in the province - Saskatchewan government officials and the Public Health Agency of Canada have removed nine cases of COVID-19 from the province's total, saying the cases are not actually in Saskatchewan residents.
In total, 98 cases of COVID-19 are still considered active in Saskatchewan. Four people are in hospital with COVID-19, with one of those people in intensive care in southern Saskatchewan.
Indoor gatherings in Saskatchewan have been authorized to allow up to 30 people, allowing for social distancing, but the size of extended households will remain at 15 by provincial order. People in extended households are able to interact with each other without keeping a two-metre buffer.
Meanwhile, the Saskatchewan government announced the next stage of its phase four reopening will go into effect June 29, allowing libraries, museums, galleries and movie theatres to reopen. Other planned reopening dates for indoor pools, rinks, casinos, bingo halls and other indoor activities have not been announced.
Manitoba reported no new COVID-19 cases Tuesday, with cases within the province staying at 314 in total. Fourteen cases remain active province-wide.
