There are 146 new cases of COVID-19 to report in Saskatchewan on February 18, bringing the provincial total to 27,099 cases. 

174 people are in hospital, 151 people are receiving inpatient care.

There were 2,206 COVID-19 tests processed. To date, 551,283 COVID-19 tests have been processed in Saskatchewan. 

The Government of Saskatchewan continues to recommend against all non-essential travel.  International travelers must abide by federal testing and quarantine measures.  If you have chosen to travel inter-provincially during the break week, get tested as soon as you return to Saskatchewan and plan for a follow-up test seven days later.  

The presence of new variants across Canada means an elevated risk of bringing more transmissible strains of COVID-19 home with you.   While you cannot test your way out of travel risks, testing is the best tool available to protect your family, friends, and all residents of Saskatchewan against COVID-19 if you have traveled.
