COVID-19 hospitalizations drop by 9 in Manitoba but still too early to say if virus has peaked
'We do know for sure that the virus is very much present in our communities and circulating': Roussin

This is down from the 720 patients on Wednesday.

COVID-19 BULLETIN #560




Information about COVID-19 in Manitoba is updated weekdays at 12:30 p.m. on these DataMB dashboards:
Manitoba continues to report on the recorded number of COVID-19 cases. However, it is important to note this data is limited and should be used with caution. It includes cases confirmed by a PCR test as well as rapid tests given by health-care professionals. Positive test results from rapid antigen tests, which people generally do at home, are not collected or reported. As a result, these numbers are an under-reporting of COVID-19 in the community.

Key Updates
  • Appointments are available at the 820 Taylor Ave. location for rapid antigen test pickup to eligible Manitobans. Non-eligible people will be turned away. Clients are encouraged to bring proof of booking confirmation, but appointments can be confirmed onsite if needed. For more information about how to book an appointment and hours of operation at this and other sites, visit https://gov.mb.ca/covid19/testing/locations.html.
  • Only symptomatic individuals or those advised by public health should visit a COVID-19 provincial testing site. Rapid antigen tests will continue to be used for the majority of people visiting a provincial testing site. Those who are at higher risk of severe illness as well as some groups who have tested positive on a rapid antigen test will still be eligible for PCR testing. Detailed information on updated COVID-19 testing eligibility can be found at: https://gov.mb.ca/covid19/testing/index.html.

Vaccine

The RBC provincial vaccine clinic is open for walk-in appointments.

Manitobans who are eligible for a third dose, or booster, are urged to get one. The booster dose is readily available to everyone over age 18 in Manitoba. It is most important that those who are age 50 and over get immunized with a third dose right away, because this age group is experiencing – and will continue to experience – more severe outcomes, including hospitalizations, ICU admissions and deaths.

Manitobans who live in First Nations communities, have diabetes or are immunocompromised are urged to get a third dose. A complete listing of the medical conditions that would classify a person as immunocompromised can be found at https://protectmb.ca.

Delivering the second round of vaccines to children ages 5 to 11 is continuing in many locations, including schools. It is recommended by Health Canada, the National Advisory Committee on Immunization and public health that the second dose be administered eight weeks following the first dose.

As of today, a total of 69,757 first doses have been given to children ages five to 11, or 55.8 per cent of that age group.

Manitobans are encouraged to get their second and third doses as quickly as possible. While COVID-19 vaccine appointments continue to be available at regional or provincial vaccine clinics, for many people the fastest way to be immunized is at a nearby medical clinic, pharmacy or urban Indigenous clinic. Check the online vaccine finder or a medical clinic or pharmacy near you that provides the COVID-19 vaccine to find the next available opportunity to be immunized. The timeline between second and third doses and eligibility criteria information can be found at https://manitoba.ca/covid19/vaccine/...-criteria.html.

Eligible individuals can book their appointments online, by calling (toll-free) 1-844-626-8222 (1-844-MAN-VACC) or by contacting their local pharmacy or medical clinic directly. Visit www.gov.mb.ca/covid19/vaccine/finder.html for some of the available options.

3 more COVID-19 deaths reported in Manitoba as hospitalizations drop by 19
Province also reports 570 new cases, though officials say that's a significant undercount of true number
CBC News · Posted: Feb 10, 2022 12:31 PM CT | Last Updated: 1 hour ago

Three more people in Manitoba have died after getting COVID-19, while hospitalizations of people with the illness went down 19, the province's online coronavirus dashboard says Thursday.

The update brings the total number of people with COVID-19 in hospital in Manitoba to 661, including 42 in intensive care units — down one since Wednesday.

Those patients make up nearly 44 per cent — or more than two out of every five — of the total 96 ICU patients across the province, a spokesperson for Shared Health, which oversees health-care delivery in Manitoba, said in an email.

Before the pandemic, the critical care program's baseline capacity was 72 patients, the spokesperson said.

Two of the people who died were from the Prairie Mountain Health region and one was from the Winnipeg health region, the dashboard says. The latest deaths bring the total number reported in the province to 1,616.

More details about the people who died, including their age and sex, are expected in the province's next COVID-19 news release on Friday.

The province also reported 570 cases of COVID-19, though health officials have repeatedly said that number is a significant undercount of the true number of infections and does not include positive results on rapid tests. ..
