8 more deaths of Manitobans with COVID-19, 111 more hospitalizations reported in 1st weekly update
Data in weekly updates released with 1-week delay
CBC News · Posted: Mar 31, 2022 10:12 AM CT | Last Updated: 4 hours ago

Manitoba reported eight more deaths of people with COVID-19 on Thursday and 111 more people with the illness admitted to hospital, in the first of its now weekly coronavirus updates.

No details about the people who died — such as their age or sex — were provided in the report, which reflects data from the week of March 20 to 26.

The province has stopped updating the various online dashboards it had used to keep the public informed about COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and testing numbers throughout the pandemic. That shift was announced last week.

Over the past few weeks, the number of deaths reported varied, from five in the last weekly update to 24 around the beginning of March.

Manitoba also changed its definition of what's considered a COVID-19 death earlier this month.

The province is still reporting data on COVID-19 hospitalizations, but it also looks a little different now.

COVID-19 online dashboard will no longer be updated, reports will be released weekly instead: province

Instead of painting a complete picture of how many COVID-19 patients are currently in hospital, the data now presents a snapshot of how many people were admitted during a given week.

The latest weekly update included the 111 new COVID-19 hospitalizations, with 16 being ICU admissions, over the March 20 to 26 period.

Despite the change in how much data is made public, the province is still tracking total hospital and intensive care numbers linked to the illness, Health Minister Audrey Gordon said Wednesday...
