Saskatchewan has its second presumptive case of COVID-19.
In a media release Friday, the province said the individual is a resident in their 60s who travelled from Oregon. The test was done in Saskatoon on Tuesday.
The person has been self-isolating at home.
“Public health officials have begun their contact investigation to follow up on anyone who may be at risk of developing COVID-19 because of contact with this individual,” the province said in the release. “If you do not receive a call from public health, you are not at risk of transmission of COVID-19 from this individual.”
