SASKATOON ICU physician Dr. Hassan Masri is calling on the province to change its vaccine strategy to help address climbing COVID-19 variant cases in Saskatoon. “We need to be proactive, we need to be aggressive,” he said. While Regina has been the Saskatchewan epicentre for variant of concern cases, Saskatoon is also beginning to see a steady increase. As of Wednesday, Saskatoon variant cases have reached 178, up from 18 on March 29. The nine-day rise represents a near 900 per cent increase in reported variant cases. Masri said he isn’t surprised by the surge. “People have developed pandemic fatigue, so they’re less likely to follow the orders so they will be out there exposing each other,” Masri said.
