For the first time in over 2 months, a healthcare worker in Manitoba has tested positive for COVID-19.
A volunteer worker from the Prairie Mountain Health region tested positive on July 23rd.
The worker had gotten sick through contact with a known case of COVID, but has since recovered. It’s believed they contracted the virus outside of a healthcare setting, according to a Manitoba Health spokesperson.
At this time it’s not clear what kind of work the volunteer did, but officials say there’s no risk to the public’s health.
The last time a Manitoba health-care worker tested positive for the virus was back in May.
