The province has broken yesterday's record of the biggest single-day jump in COVID-19 cases with 72 new cases today.
45 of the new cases come from the Prairie Mountain Health region, 16 are in the Southern Health region, 9 are in Winnipeg, 1 is in the Interlake-Eastern region and 1 is in the Northern region.
Manitoba's chief public health officer says 47 of today's cases are clusters from Hutterite colonies, and added that around two-thirds of Saturday's cases also came from these types of "communal living communities".
The total number of cases in the province is now at 944.
The majority of the new PMH cases are linked to known clusters and the case in the Northern region is linked to the PMH region.
Even though 45 new cases were announced in PMH, none are in Dauphin, and all 7 cases that Dauphin has had are listed as recovered.
Province wide, there are 356 active cases, 7 people in hospital, and 1 person in intensive care.
576 people have recovered and there have been 12 deaths reported.
The province is once again reminding us that PMH has been elevated to the restricted level orange.
Starting tomorrow, masks are mandatory in all public indoor places and all public gatherings, outside too.
In addition, public gathering sizes, for both indoor and outdoor, will be restricted to just 10 people.
The province encourages those that live in the PMH region to take these precautions immediately to help slow the spread of the virus.
