REGINA – Saskatchewan will soon be reporting COVID-19 data once a month, shifting away from its current weekly report.

The government says it is moving toward a monthly schedule as the rate of COVID-19 infection falls.

As of Thursday, the province reported a test positivity rate of four per cent for the virus.

Hospitalizations continue to decline with 157 people admitted due to COVID-19 as of Thursday, five of whom are in the intensive care unit.

The province’s last weekly COVID-19 epidemiology report will come out June 30, followed by a three-week report on July 31, with the first monthly report to be released Aug. 13.
