    More than half of Manitoba's 222 new cases of COVID-19 in the north
    Province sees jumps in test positivity rate, number of people in hospital on Sunday
    Rachel Bergen ? CBC News ? Posted: Jan 24, 2021 12:31 PM CT | Last Updated: 2 hours ago

    There are three more deaths and 222 new cases of COVID-19 in Manitoba on Sunday, the day after the province loosened restrictions in the southern half of the province.

    For the second day in a row, more than half of the new cases — 116 — are in the north, a provincial news release said.

    On Saturday, 216 cases of the virus were reported. Of those, 118 were in the Northern Health Region.

    The remaining cases are in the Winnipeg (61), Prairie Mountain (22), Interlake-Eastern (20) and Southern (three) health regions.

    The five-day test positivity rate — a rolling average of the number of tests that come back positive — jumped to 10.6 per cent provincially, up from 9.8 per cent the day prior. In Winnipeg, that rate is 6.4 per cent, down slightly from 6.5 per cent on Saturday...

      Roussin stands firm against businesses upset by slow reopening as Manitoba posts 113 new COVID-19 cases
      'I understand the frustration, but what is our alternative?' doctor says as 5 more deaths announced
      Darren Bernhardt ? CBC News ? Posted: Jan 25, 2021 11:23 AM CT | Last Updated: 2 hours ago

      Manitoba reported five deaths and 113 new cases of COVID-19 on Monday as the province emerged from the first — but only slight — loosening of restrictions in two months.

      Although many Manitobans were able to purchase non-essential goods in stores as of Saturday, the province remains at the red, or critical, level of its pandemic response system and Chief Provincial Public Health Officer Dr. Brent Roussin is hearing frustration.

      However, he took a firm stand against the push by some to widen the reopening.

      "Public health is aware that many business and sectors are frustrated that they're still not able to open at this point," he said.

      "It comes down to the nature of this virus, that we know this virus spreads with close contact, prolonged indoor contact, especially in crowded places."

      Businesses that sell non-essential goods — and some service providers, including barbershops and hairstylists — are allowed to reopen...

        5 more deaths, 94 new cases of COVID-19 in Manitoba as province prepares for emergence of variants
        Interlake–Eastern health region reported zero new cases on Tuesday
        CBC News ? Posted: Jan 26, 2021 11:34 AM CT | Last Updated: 26 minutes ago

        Five more deaths and 94 new cases of COVID-19 were reported in Manitoba on Tuesday.

        This is the first time the daily caseload has been below 100 since Jan. 12, when there were 92 new cases. Prior to that, the province last saw a sub-100 daily count in mid-October.

        One of the province's health regions — Interlake-Eastern — reported zero new cases.

        The Winnipeg area has the most new cases of any single health region with 41. The northern region has 36 new cases, while the Prairie Mountain Health region has 15 and the Southern Health region has two.

        The total number of deaths in Manitoba due to COVID-19 is now 809...

            8 more deaths, 133 new cases of COVID-19 reported in Manitoba on Thursday
            Province had gone 2 consecutive days with new case counts below 100
            CBC News ? Posted: Jan 28, 2021 11:12 AM CT | Last Updated: 6 minutes ago

            There are eight more deaths and 133 new cases of COVID-19 in Manitoba on Thursday, ending a two-day run when new case counts were below 100.

            There were 94 new cases on Tuesday and 95 on Wednesday.

            Of the 133 cases on Thursday, the Northern Health Region was hit hardest with 61. A new outbreak has also been declared in that region, at St. Paul's Personal Care Home in The Pas.

            That facility has now been moved to the red, or critical, level on the province's pandemic response system.

            The Winnipeg health region has 29 of the latest cases, while there are 19 new ones in the Prairie Mountain Health region, 17 in the Interlake-Eastern health region and seven in the Southern Health region.

            All but one of the latest Manitoba deaths — a woman in her 60s from the Winnipeg region — are connected to known outbreaks. ..

              There are three more deaths and 157 new cases of COVID-19 in Manitoba on Friday.

              More than half of the new cases are in the province's Northern Health Region, which has 81.

              For the second consecutive day, a new outbreak has been declared in the north, this time at Wapanohk Community School in Thompson, which has been moved to the red, or critical, level of the province's pandemic response system.

              The Winnipeg health region has 29 new cases, the Prairie Mountain Health region has 24, the Southern Health region has 14 and there are nine new cases in the Interlake-Eastern health region.

              The three latest deaths are women from the Winnipeg health region: a woman in her 30s, one in her 50s and one in her 80s. The latter is linked to the outbreak at Concordia Place Personal Care Home.

              The total number of deaths in Manitoba due to the coronavirus is now 823.

              The five-day COVID-19 test positivity rate continues to fall. There were 2,176 tests completed Thursday, and the five-day average rate is now 7.5 per cent provincially and 4.9 per cent in Winnipeg.

              The test positivity rate for the north was 26 per cent earlier in the week, Chief Provincial Public Health Officer Dr. Brent Roussin said...

                Northern Health Region reports more than 40 per cent of province's new infections, with 69 cases

                There are 166 new COVID-19 cases in Manitoba on Saturday and two more people have died from the illness, the province says in a news release.

                The biggest chunk of new cases on Saturday is in the province's Northern Health Region, which reported 69 infections, or more than 40 per cent of the new cases. There are also 47 new cases in the Winnipeg health region, the release says.

                Manitoba's five-day test positivity rate is down slightly to 7.3 per cent, from 7.5 per cent on Friday. In Winnipeg, that rate dropped to 4.4 per cent, down from 4.9 on Friday.

                There are now 275 COVID-19 patients in hospital, up three from Friday. Of those, 39 are in intensive care, which is unchanged.

                The deaths announced Saturday are two men: one in his 80s linked to an outbreak at Winnipeg's Holy Family Home and one in his 90s linked to an outbreak at Niverville's Heritage Life Personal Care Home, the release says.

                They bring Manitoba's total to 825 coronavirus-linked deaths...

                  119 new COVID-19 cases, 4 more deaths in Manitoba on Sunday
                  More than 40% of new infections in hard-hit Northern Health Region
                  CBC News ? Posted: Jan 31, 2021 12:31 PM CT | Last Updated: 3 hours ago

                  There are 119 new COVID-19 cases in Manitoba on Sunday and four more people have died from the illness, the province says in a news release.

                  Manitoba's five-day test positivity rate is up by a small margin to 7.9 per cent, the release says, while Winnipeg's is up by an even smaller margin to 4.5 per cent.

                  Forty-nine of the new cases — or more than 40 per cent — are in the hard-hit Northern Health Region, the release says. The remaining cases are split between the Interlake-Eastern health region (35), the Winnipeg health region (27), the Southern Health region (six) and the Prairie Mountain Health region (two), it says.

                  The massive northern region is Manitoba's most sparsely populated, with a 2019 population just shy of 77,000.

                  As of Sunday, that part of the province has a COVID-19 infection rate of 5,033.08 cases per 100,000 people, Manitoba's online dashboard says — about five cases for every 100 people.

                  That's by far Manitoba's highest infection rate in any of its five health regions, and more than double the province's second-highest of 2,231.98 in the Southern Health region — or about two in every 100 people...

                    Nicholas Frew ? CBC News ? Posted: Feb 01, 2021 11:20 AM CT | Last Updated: 2 hours ago

                    Three more Manitobans have died from COVID-19, as the province reports its lowest single-day increase in new cases in over three months.

                    Two of the deaths — a man in his 70s and another man in his 80s — are linked to a COVID-19 outbreak at the Heritage Life Personal Care Home in Niverville, Man., in the Southern Health region. A woman in her 80s from the Winnipeg health region also died from the illness.

                    A total of 832 people have now died from COVID-19 in Manitoba.

                    Public health officials announced 89 new cases Monday, the lowest increase since Oct. 19, when 80 new cases were reported.

                    Nearly half of the new cases announced Monday — 42 — are in the Northern Health Region. There are 22 new cases in the Interlake-Eastern health region, 18 in the Winnipeg health region, four in the Southern Health region and three in the Prairie Mountain Health region.

                    There are 3,466 active cases in the province, a news release said, although health officials have said that number is inflated by a data backlog.

                    The five-day test positivity rate throughout Manitoba is 7.9 per cent. It's 4.2 per cent in Winnipeg...

                      Eighty-three new cases of COVID-19 reported in Manitoba on Tuesday.

                      No new death data is available because of a system reset by the province. The deaths, which are 832 as of Monday, will be updated and reported on Wednesday.

                      As has been the case many times over the past several weeks, the majority of the new cases are in the Northern health region with 53.

                      The Winnipeg health region is reporting 18 new cases for the second consecutive day. There are five more in the Interlake–Eastern health region, five in the Prairie Mountain Health region and two in the Southern Health region...

                        Dr. Jazz Atwal says it could be a few months before businesses see some return to normalcy in workplace

                        There are 126 new COVID-19 cases and three more deaths, Manitoba public health officials say, as the province's test-positivity rate drops to a low not seen in over three months.

                        The new cases announced Wednesday follow two double-digit days so far this week.

                        Close to half (55) of Wednesday's cases are from the Northern Health Region, 32 are in Winnipeg, 24 are in the Interlake-Eastern health region, eight are in the Southern Health region and seven are in the Prairie Mountain Health region.

                        There are 3,358 active COVID-19 cases in the province, the province's data says, though health officials have said that number may be inflated due to a backlog in data entry.

                        Cases of variants of the novel coronavirus first reported in the United Kingdom and South Africa have not yet been detected in Manitoba, says Dr. Jazz Atwal, Manitoba's acting deputy chief provincial public health officer.

                        The five-day test-positivity rate for all of Manitoba is 6.9 per cent, and in Winnipeg, it's down to 3.9 per cent. Manitoba's test-positivity rate was last this low on Oct. 25, 2020...

                          There are 110 new COVID-19 cases in Manitoba on Thursday and two more people have died from the illness, the province says in a news release.

                          Manitoba's five-day test positivity rate is down slightly to 6.7 per cent, the lowest it's been since Oct. 23. Winnipeg's is down to 3.6 per cent, the release says.

                          The deaths announced Thursday are a man in his 70s and a woman in her 90s, both from the Winnipeg health region. The woman is linked to the COVID-19 outbreak at the Southeast Personal Care Home, the release says.

                          Just over one-third of the new cases (39) are in the Northern Health Region, while 33 are in the Interlake-Eastern health region, the release says. The remaining new cases are spread out among the Winnipeg health region (26), the Prairie Mountain Health region (seven) and the Southern Health region (five).

                          Manitoba considers limited opening of restaurants, gyms and churches as COVID-19 cases trend downward
                          Outdoor sports, film industry, services at places of worship could resume under new rules
                          Darren Bernhardt ? CBC News ? Posted: Feb 04, 2021 9:49 AM CT | Last Updated: 1 hour ago

                          In a little over a week, Manitobans could soon be doing things they haven't in three months: ordering a meal to eat inside a restaurant, working out at a gym and sitting in a church.

                          The province's COVID-19 curve has been bending in the right direction, which means it's time to look at further reopening the economy, Premier Brian Pallister said Thursday.

                          As it did ahead of last month's modest loosening of some restrictions, the province has again launched an online survey to gauge public opinion. This time around, though, it's a much more broad reopening.

                          The province is now floating the idea of allowing restaurants, tattoo parlours, gyms, nail salons and libraries to reopen with limited capacity.

                          It also is considering allowing places of worship to reopen, increasing capacity for weddings and enabling the film industry and photographers to resume work...

                            There are 110 new COVID-19 cases and one more death from the coronavirus in Manitoba on Friday, health officials say.

                            The Manitoban who died was a woman in her 40s from the Winnipeg health region. There have now been 838 COVID-19 deaths in Manitoba.

                            With Friday's cases, Manitoba surpasses 30,000 total known COVID-19 cases since March 12, 2020.

                            "We've seen, overall, that our numbers continue to be headed in a good direction," said Dr. Brent Roussin, chief provincial public health officer, during a news conference Friday afternoon.

                            "Of course, we're working hard in certain areas of the Northern Health Region to bring down the numbers that we're seeing."

                            The Northern Health Region reported the most new cases Friday, with 40, while 38 were reported in the Winnipeg health region. There are 13 new cases in the Interlake-Eastern health region, 11 in the Southern Health region and eight in the Prairie Mountain Health region...

                              There are 82 new COVID-19 cases in Manitoba Saturday and four more people have died from the illness, the province says in a news release.

                              That's the lowest one-day increase in cases the province has seen since Oct. 19, when 80 new cases were reported.

                              The deaths announced Saturday include two men (in their 40s and 80s) from the Winnipeg health region.

                              Two women — one in her 50s from the Northern Health Region and one in her 90s linked to an outbreak at Winnipeg's Concordia Place Personal Care Home — have also died, the release says.

                              A little less than half the new cases announced Saturday (36) are in the Winnipeg health region, while 26 are in the Northern Health Region, the release says.
