Saskatchewan doctors have been warned the province’s critical care system will be pushed to a breaking point if the surge of infections battering Regina’s intensive care units repeats itself in other parts of the province.

Doctors across Saskatchewan have been presented data about the province’s COVID-19 outbreak that is drastically worse than what has been presented to the general public, and doctors are calling for urgent action to prevent the health care system from being overwhelmed.
Each Thursday the province’s doctors meet for a virtual town hall. This week’s town hall, which was posted online publicly following the event, warns of a worsening situation in the province’s intensive care units that are projected to get worse before it gets better.
