Public health officials have identified 13 more cases of COVID-19 in Manitoba, bringing the total number of probable and lab-confirmed cases to 243.
There will be no daily COVID update from the province tomorrow (Sunday, April 12th).
96 people are listed as recovered from the virus. The number of deaths reported in Manitoba is four.
The number of cases in the Prairie Mountain Health region remains at 11.
Chief provincial public health officer Dr. Brent Roussin says we must continue to obey directives from the province. He does not want anyone to think that our recent case numbers are an excuse to let your guard down.
The Dauphin testing site resumes regular hours (10 am to 3 pm) this weekend. Keep in mind, a referral from Health Links and an appointment time are required to be tested at the drive-thru clinic.
Community testing sites are not operating as walk-in / drive-up medical clinics.
