Premier Scott Moe offered his apology in a one-on-one interview with CTV News.

"I apologize to them with respect to the fact we have had to slow these services to support our ICU capacity. Ultimately to support a disproportionate number of people that have made the choice to not be vaccinated,” Moe said Tuesday. ``They are a disproportionate number in our ICU beds… As I've said, fortunately we live in a nation where the provinces can support one another, but unfortunately, right now it's Saskatchewan's turn to receive that support."

As of Tuesday, there are 335 residents receiving hospital treatment for COVID-19 in Saskatchewan with 83 of those people in intensive care.
The province said 75 per cent of hospitalized patients were not fully vaccinated.

In a tweet Friday night, Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Bill Blair stated the armed forces are on their way to the province to provide the necessary support to fight the pandemic.

Blair added discussions are also underway for additional Canadian Red Cross personnel to deploy to the province, which is suffering the worst weekly death rate in the country.
The move comes as Saskatchewan started shipping ICU patients to Ontario to help deal with packed intensive care units.

The province has been operating under the first stage for several months, which has involved cancelling surgeries to free up bed space and health-care workers to focus on COVID cases.
