Self-reported mental health and stress levels remain steady this week.

Outlook for the weeks ahead holds stable, with equal proportions feeling like things will either stay the same or get worse. Regina residents are less likely to feel things will get worse than those in other regions of the province.

Opinions of public health measures remain divided, with the largest proportion feeling measures should be tightened further. Regina and Saskatoon residents are more likely to support further restrictions.

One third claim to have received a COVID-19 vaccine, up from one quarter last week. Those vaccinated – or have plans to receive one soon – increases to more than four in ten. Regina leads the way on vaccination progress.

Summer vacation plans appear to be shaping up similar to last year, with most planning to stay close to home, take day trips, go to a recreational property, or vacation within the province. Few plan to vacation outside of Saskatchewan at this point.

Since March 2020, we started sharing a few brief insights from our online community, SaskWatch Research^®. As we monitor and trend the results by week, we will share the information with you as we get it.

Let us know if you have any questions for Saskatchewan residents about COVID-19.
