Opposition says Sask. 'under siege' from COVID, wants modelling made public, new school isolation rules
CBC
Saskatchewan Opposition NDP Leader Ryan Meili says the provincial government needs to act in the face of COVID-19 records being surpassed daily.
Meili says the province should release its pandemic modelling, secure support from the federal government and modify the current isolation orders for children in schools.
"We are under siege from COVID-19 and the person that should be leading is nowhere to be found," Meili said Tuesday.
Meili said Moe has put "politics before people."
On Tuesday, the province reported 311 people with COVID-19 in Saskatchewan's hospitals. It was the first time that more than 300 people have been hospitalized for COVID in the province.
There were also a record 65 people with COVID-19 in intensive care units. Six of the province's health zones — far northwest, far north central, far northeast, northwest, central west and southeast — no longer have any available ICU beds.
In addition, 10 more Saskatchewan residents died.
