Saskatchewan Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Saqib Shahab says people are coming in contact with one another more often now that the province has begun to re-open.
Shahab, speaking with reporters Thursday about the COVID-19 pandemic, said the province is finding that people who recently tested positive for the virus have been in contact with many others.
When the province was in lockdown, there were fewer personal interactions, he said.
“What we’re seeing now is more cases generating contacts because we aren’t in lockdown,” he said. “We are finding that as people are out and about again, people are again having a lot of contacts.”
In Prince Albert, for example, Shahab said six people in the region who tested positive were in contact with more than 100 people.
He said of the roughly 800 total cases in the province, there have been 6,000 contacts associated with them.
When people come in contact with each other more frequently, he said, it makes it challenging for health authorities to investigate the spread.
Shahab urged people to stick with safety precautions. That includes not visiting many people outside the family co-hort, physical distancing of two metres, wearing a mask in closer scenarios, washing hands frequently, and staying home if unwell.
“If our number of contacts start increasing, the risk of transmission starts increasing,” he said.
During the update, Shahab provided new data that better outlines which settings the virus spreads in.
He said as of July 2, 402 cases were contacts to known cases.
Of that number, 288 cases spread within the household, and 114 cases occurred in settings outside the home.
He said 45 cases were connected to mass gatherings.
Shahab said if more people start getting the virus in settings outside the home and in mass gatherings, the province may have to re-think its guidelines.
However, he said he doesn’t want Saskatchewan to re-enter a full lockdown.
Shahab said the province could expect more pop-up incidents of the virus going forward.
But if people practice safety, he said, the risk of small surges would be low.
When the fall and winter arrives, people will have to be cautious because the virus spreads more easily indoors.
During the cold months, there will need to be better ventilation in buildings, along with the various other measures to keep people safe, Shahab said.

Over 50 years after Concorde first took to the skies, a brand new supersonic jet is preparing for lift off.
Denver based start-up Boom Supersonic has announced it will roll out XB-1, a 1:3 scale prototype of its upcoming supersonic commercial jet Overture, on October 7, with test flights beginning in 2021.
The move will help to pave the way for the first commercial supersonic flights since the legendary delta-wing passenger airliner made its last flight in 2003.
XB-1 is the first step in bringing supersonic travel back to the world, Blake Scholl, founder and CEO of Boom Supersonic, said in a statement on the companys website.
SUPERSONIC FLIGHT REVIVAL
Flights at twice the speed mean we can travel twice as far -- bringing more people, places, and cultures into our lives.
According to Boom, the purpose of XB-1 is to demonstrate and prove the key technologies for Overture, such as advanced carbon fiber composite construction and computer-optimized high-efficiency aerodynamics.
The company has also released images of the experimental aircraft, described as historys fastest privately developed aircraft, in the hangar, including the completion of its wing installation.
Our experiences in the Covid-19 pandemic underscore for all of us the fundamental human need for personal connection, says Scholl.
Faster travel enables us to experience the worlds people, cultures, and places. With XB-1, were demonstrating that we are prepared to bring back supersonic.
The results of the XB-1 test program, which claims to be 100 carbon neutral, will allow the company to fine tune the design for supersonic airliner Overture.
DEMAND HAS GROWN
Were ensuring that the supersonic future is safe and environmentally and economically sustainable, he added.
Weve learned that the demand for supersonic has grown even faster than we anticipated.
Before the pandemic, Boom had garnered at least 6 billion worth of pre-orders for the aircraft, which has a price tag of 200 million, with buyers included Virgin Group and Japan Airlines, which invested 10 million in the company in 2017.
If all goes to plan, Overture, which is designed to seat between 55 to 75 people, will begin passenger flights in 2030. It will focus on over 500 primarily transoceanic routes that will benefit from the aircrafts Mach-2.2 speeds -- such as New York to London, a journey that would take just three hours and 15 minutes.
The aircraft has been designed with the latest noise-reducing technologies and will only fly at supersonic speeds while over oceans to ensure that populated areas are not affected by sonic booms.
Boom isnt the only company attempting to bring supersonic flights back.
Aerion Corporation is currently developing a passenger AS2 supersonic jet, which can hold up to 12 passengers, at its headquarters in Reno, Nevada.

Canadas main stock index ended higher for a second-straight week on positive sentiment from a potential COVID-19 treatment and strong domestic jobs numbers.
The SPTSX composite index closed up 145.18 points at 15,713.82 for a gain of 117 points over the week.
Despite surging infections in parts of the U.S., hopeful news came from Gilean Sciences that its treatment remdesivir helped reduce the risk of mortality in patients.
And Canadas unemployment rate fell in June, following a similar move in the U.S., as 952,900 jobs were added amid some economic reopenings.
Its just a day filled with a little bit of positive news and for now the glass -- at least today, anyway -- is half full, said Allan Small, senior investment adviser at HollisWealth.
The market recovery has largely been spurred by the tech sector, which has been helped by people working from home and shopping online. But Fridays boost in sentiment helped the banking and energy, he said.
In New York, the Dow Jones industrial average was up 369.21 points at 25,075.30. The SP 500 index was up 32.99 points at 3,185.04, while the Nasdaq composite was up 69.69 points to another record close of 10,617.44 and intraday record high of 10,622.35.
Nine of the 11 major sectors on the TSX were up, led by energy, health care and financials.
Energy gained 3.3 per cent on higher crude oil and natural gas prices.
The August crude contract was up 93 cents at US40.55 per barrel and the August natural gas contract was up 2.6 cents at nearly US1.81 per mmBTU.
Crude rose after the International Energy Agency boosted its 2020 demand forecast. That helped Canadian energy companies such as Enerplus Corp. and Vermilion Energy Inc. whose shares were up 8.9 and eight per cent respectively.
Canopy Growth Corp. climbed 8.1 per cent to propel the health care sector while shares of several Canadian banks rose in lockstep with gains in the U.S. banking sector. Laurentian Bank gained three per cent, the Bank of Montreal increased 2.7 per cent and the Bank of Nova Scotia rose 2.6 per cent.
Technology fell with Lightspeed POS Inc. and Blackberry Ltd. down three and 1.8 per cent respectively.
Materials dipped despite gains by forestry companies as gold prices slipped, but remained above US1,800 an ounce and higher for a fifth-straight week.
While some analysts believe gold is appreciating over fears of inflation and as a result of massive monetary and fiscal stimulus, Small is less hopeful about the precious metal.
When fear is removed or at least when we do get some sort of vaccine in the fall hopefully, I would not be surprised to see gold, that fear premium come out of it.
The Canadian dollar traded for 73.56 cents US compared with 73.77 cents US on Thursday.
North American stock markets have rallied sharply from March lows but need some sort of catalyst to get to the next level and regain all-time highs, said Small.
I actually think we will show positive numbers on the indices by the end of the year. Im not giving up on this year. I still think investors can make money.

Outgoing Conservative Party Leader Andrew Scheer said the recent discovery of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s involvement with the WE Charity is reminiscent of another scandal involving the Liberal Party leader.
“It really reminds me on the SNC Lavalin scandal, because it’s coming out in drips and drabs,” Scheer told CTV Morning Live.
Scheer said Conservatives are calling for all documents pertaining to Trudeau’s relationship with the WE Charity be made public. This follows confirmation that members of the Prime Minister’s immediate family were paid nearly 300,000 over four years for speaking at WE Charity events.
We want to see what this contract looked like,” Scheer said. “We want to know how many Cabinet Ministers knew he had this kind of relationship with this charity.”
In an emailed statement sent to CTVNews.ca, Chantal Gagnon, a spokesperson for the Prime Ministers Office, said Trudeaus relatives engage with a variety of organizations and support many personal causes on their own accord.
PANDEMIC RESPONSE
Scheer’s Conservatives have proposed a “back-to-work bonus” which he said would allow employees to earn money and keep more CERB.
“We’ve been calling on this government to fix the gaps in their programs. Many people still don’t qualify for the wage subsidy; many businesses don’t qualify for the rental subsidy,” Scheer said.
REPRESENTING REGINA-QU’APPELLE
Scheer said he plans to continue running for Regina-Qu’Appelle MP, and enjoys reconnecting with the communities in his riding.
“Being leader of the party I was able to able to highlight the issues that are effecting Saskatchewan and my riding,” he said. “ “The feedback I got was [my riding] was really rooting for me, they really appreciated the opportunity to have a Prime Minister from Saskatchewan and fix some of the issues that Sask is facing, the inability to get pipelines built, the terrible harvest we had and still no response from the federal government.”
