Self-reported mental health levels and stress due to COVID remain steady.

Outlook for the weeks ahead has become less optimistic. While many still believe things will stay the same, a growing proportion anticipate things will get worse.

Tied to outlook, concern over rising cases is high, particularly among those already vaccinated.

Opinions are divided regarding potential future restrictions if a fourth wave were to happen in Saskatchewan. Nearly one half of those vaccinated feel that future restrictions should only apply to the unvaccinated.

Residents are largely in favour of introducing a vaccine passport in Saskatchewan*. Not surprisingly, unvaccinated individuals are not supportive.

* Data were collected just before and on the day of the federal government announcement of vaccine passports.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, 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.
