Oct 7, 2021 | 1:49 PM

Saskatchewan is activating its emergency operations centre to lead its response to record levels of COVID-19.

Premier Scott Moe says the move will better co-ordinate the pandemic response between government ministries and staff.

And he says it will provide administrative support so health-care workers can focus on treating patients.

Yesterday, the province reported 356 people in hospital with COVID-19, including 76 in intensive care the highest since the pandemic began.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Oct. 7, 2021.
