Saskatchewan NDP critic Aleana Young is calling on the provincial government to cap the delivery fees charged by third-party delivery platforms at 15 per cent.

Saskatchewan NDP Leader Ryan Meili wants to see the province take further action to detect and prevent the spread of COVID-19 variants.

The Saskatchewan NDP said national data shows the province has had the worst rate of deaths over the last seven days in the entire country.

As of Tuesday, the seven-day average of new daily cases is 321, or 26.5 cases per 100,000 people — the highest transmission rate since the start of the pandemic.

A number of new public health measures came into force in Saskatchewan on Thursday, including further restriction on private gatherings.

Private indoor gatherings in Saskatchewan are limited to immediate household members only as of Dec. 17.

Saskatchewan's Opposition leader says Premier Scott Moe is pandering to those in the province resistant to additional measures to slow the spread of COVID-19.

Saskatchewan voters choose today which leader will steer the province through the rest of the COVID-19 pandemic, and whatever unforeseen challenges lie ahead following election day.

Despite the recent spike in COVID-19 numbers, Moe said he believed health officials could curb the spread of the virus without closing the doors to a slew of businesses and activities.

Saskatchewan's two main political leaders criticized each other's track records Friday as they urged people to vote in the home stretch of the provincial campaign.
