Saskatchewan to stop releasing daily COVID-19 update

s

Saskatchewan says it will soon stop providing daily COVID-19 updates as the virus "moves from pandemic to endemic."

That decision means there will no longer be a daily recap issued by the province on how many new cases or deaths were recorded or how many vaccines were administered.

Instead, the province will move to a weekly recap as of Aug. 3.

Saskatchewan's dashboard of COVID-19 data will still be updated on a daily basis, the province said.

The news comes as the number of active COVID-19 cases reached a level not seen since the province dropped all public restrictions on July 11.

As of Thursday the number of active cases in the province stood at 412.

On July 10, the number of active cases was 413.

The increase in active case numbers was caused by 52 new cases reported on Thursday.
The new cases are located in the following health zones;


Far northwest: nine.
Far north central: two.
Far northeast: three.
Northwest: six.
North central: four.
Northeast: two.
Saskatoon: nine.
Central east: one.
Regina: six.
Southeast: five.

The new cases have also bumped the seven-day rolling average of new known COVID-19 cases in the province. The average is now 44.

Saskatchewan did not report any new COVID-19-related deaths on Thursday, keeping the figure at 578.

The current number of hospitalizations remained at 43, the same as it was on Wednesday. Nine of the 43 people are receiving intensive care.

s (CNN)President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden plan to get Covid-19 vaccine booster shots once they are cleared to take them, the President said in an interview aired Thursday. The Biden administration announced on Wednesday that Americans will be able to get Covid-19 vaccine booster shots starting on September 20, subject to authorization from the US Food and Drug Administration and sign off from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Individuals would become eligible for their booster shot eight months after their second shot of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines. Those who received the Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccine may need boosters in the future, but more data is needed, health officials said. The Bidens received their second Pfizer Covid vaccine shots in January, so they would become eligible for the booster shot in September, the President told ABC News. "We're gonna get the booster shots," Biden said. "And-- it's somethin'

An eternity later: Sponge fossils may be earliest animal on Earth | Daily Sabah

A geologist in Canada may have just discovered traces of the earliest known animal life on Earth in the northwestern region of the country, giving a glimpse of the humble dawn of life that occurred hundreds of millions of years ago, a report published Wednesday in the journal Nature said. Around a billion years ago, a region of northwest Canada now defined by steep mountains was a prehistoric marine environment where the remains of ancient sponges may be preserved in mineral sediment, the paper says. Geologist Elizabeth Turner discovered the rocks in a remote region of the Northwest Territories accessible only by helicopter, where she has been excavating since the 1980s. Thin sections of rock contain three-dimensional structures that resemble modern sponge skeletons. "I believe these are ancient sponges – only this type of organism has this type of network of organic filaments," said Joachim Reitner, a geobiologist and expert in sponges at Germany's University of G
