COVID-19 restrictions in Saskatchewan may have lifted this past Sunday, but it doesn't mean the threat of COVID-19 has disappeared from the province. A medical professional in the province says the people showing up in ICUs are those who have not been vaccinated or have only received one dose of a vaccine. It's backed up by hard data provided last week by the province during the final regular COVID-19 briefing. Masri said a COVID-19-related death among unvaccinated individuals can often spark change among family members who were also avoiding getting vaccinated. He said he could think of at least four examples where an unvaccinated patient died after arriving in the ICU.
