Manitoba has reported its largest increase of COVID-19 cases in a day, adding 84 new cases on Friday.
An additional 3 deaths have been announced: two women in their 80’s and a woman in her 70’s, all from Winnipeg. The total number of deaths due to COVID-19 is 30.
The province now has 2,428 cases with 933 active and 1,465 recovered. There are 25 people in hospital and 6 in intensive care.
One of today’s 84 cases is in Prairie Mountain Health. There have been no new cases reported in the Dauphin, Swan River, Riding Mountain, Duck Mountain, Agassiz Mountain, or little Saskatchewan health districts.
With the rising case numbers in the province, health officials want all Manitobans to use extra caution when celebrating Thanksgiving this year – limiting close contacts, and increasing cleaning and hand washing.
