Half of all Saskatchewan hospitals beds, including in the intensive care unit, could soon be filled with COVID-19 patients, according to government data. This and other information was obtained by CBC News following a Saskatchewan Health Authority presentation to doctors Thursday. On the current trajectory, that would mean 200 COVID-19 patients in hospital within the next two weeks, almost double the current number, it stated. University of Saskatchewan epidemiologist Dr. Nazeem Muhajarine says it's 'unconscionable' the government isn't taking stronger action to fight COVID-19, given the new data.
