Manitoba health officials reported 35 new cases of COVID-19 on Sunday.
The province’s total case number is now 1,186, with 462 cases considered active. The number of deaths related to COVID-19 is 14.
Data about the number of hospitalizations was unavailable this weekend, but is expected to be provided on Monday.
Over the weekend, a total of 90 new cases of COVID-19 in Manitoba, with 43 in the Prairie Mountain Health region.
None of the newly announced cases are in the Dauphin health district, where there have been a total of 7 cases, all of which are listed as recovered.
It's recommended that only individuals experiencing COVID-19 symptoms should go for testing, unless otherwise directed by health officials. Individuals with symptoms are asked to seek testing as soon as possible once symptoms are present.
Case investigations indicate three cases previously-identified in the Prairie Mountain Health region are linked to a unit on the second floor of the Assiniboine Building of the Brandon Regional Health Centre. Close contacts of staff have been notified, and the case investigations are continuing.
While the risk is assessed to be low, the site has initiated outbreak protocols out of an abundance of caution. As a result, the second floor of the Assiniboine Building is putting additional measures in place to further reduce the risk to residents and staff, and is restricting visitation. The second floor of the Assiniboine Building is moving to Critical (red) on the #RestartMB Pandemic Response System.
