There were 3,601 COVID-19 tests processed in Saskatchewan on April 10, 2021.

To date, 704,555 COVID-19 tests have been processed in Saskatchewan. As of April 9, 2021, when figures for other states and countries were available, the per capita rate for Saskatchewan was 590,539 tests per million people. The national rate was 759,783 tests per million people.

These were previously reported as “estimated positives”, but all screening tests are considered confirmed VOCs for public reporting and contact survey purposes.

The result for the new strain reported today was zero (0). Of the 1,435 VOCs with strains identified by Saskatchewan whole genome sequencing, 1,426 are B.1.1.1.7 (UK) and nine are B.1.351 (SA). The Regina Zone accounts for 1,131 (79 percent) of confirmed strain-identified VOC cases in Saskatchewan.

These VOCs may have been initially identified by means other than screening (ie, selection of whole-genome sequences without screening), and the screening results will include whole-genome sequence results to identify strains. be careful.

Variants of identified concern cases may appear in both columns of the website, depending on the testing of that case. Adding cases identified by screening and cases that have undergone whole-genome sequencing can result in double counting of individual cases.
