There are 15 new instances of COVID-19 in Manitoba on Thursday, adding nine in the Winnipeg Health Region, the province said.
There are two new instances in the Eastern Health Regions, Prairie Mountain and South, the province’s Director of Public Health, Dr. Brent Roussin, said at a press conference with Health Minister Cameron Friesen.
Many of the new instances are close contacts of known COVID-19 instances, Roussin said. Investigations into new instances are ongoing and additional data will be published if a public aptitude is identified.
The student at Churchill High School in Winnipeg who tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday heard the news at the school and left after learning of the result, Roussin said.
The student had no symptoms of COVID-19, so he was not required to stay home waiting for the control result, he said.
The student did everything he was asked to do,” Roussin said. He noted that intense attention to this case could lead others to conduct tests in the future.
The threat of contagion at school is low because the student physically distanced himself and wore a mask, he said.
On Thursday, two cases of the province’s total were also eliminated: one was determined to be someone from outside the province and the other was a double, Roussin said.
On Friday, the province will begin dividing COVID-19 instances in Winnipeg into 12 separate districts, Roussin said.
This replacement is a reaction to the call of the inhabitants of Manitoba to a more detailed knowledge of where other people live in Winnipeg who contract the disease caused by the new coronavirus.
During the following week, it was discovered that 22 of the new COVID-19 cases in Winnipeg were in the community, Roussin said.
There are now 11 other people hospitalized with COVID-19 in Manitoba, 3 of whom are in intensive care.
The rate of positivity in the five days in Manitoba is now 1. 2% and the number of active instances in the province is 360.
To date, 1,002 more people in Manitoba have recovered from COVID-19; Another 16 people died. 1378 cases of disease were detected in Manitoba.
The province also announced two additional exhibition sites for COVID-19 on Thursday.
One at the Lilac Resort on the Trans-Canada Highway near Ste. Anne, Man. , September 1-3.
The other was on Air Canada flight AC 295 from Winnipeg to Vancouver on September 5. People sitting in rows 19 to 25 deserve to isolate themselves for 14 days after the flight and monitor symptoms. affected rows deserve to monitor symptoms but don’t want to isolate themselves.
The COVID-19 control site at keystone center in Brandon, Manitoba, will close smartly after September 12, the province announced.
Provincial fitness officers have reminded others to stay home when they are sick, wash their hands, cough the canopy, and stay away (or wear a mask when not possible).
People without symptoms of COVID-19 are not yet invited to be screened for the disease, following the advice of public fitness officials.
The province recently revealed that two other people died and more than two dozen were inflamed in a COVID-19 outbreak at the Winnipeg Health Science Center last March.
The data were published in an epidemiological report that ended in July and was published last week.
The report also detailed an outbreak at an anonymous company this spring, where 24 close contacts became inflamed and a Winnipeg user died.
On Wednesday, 1,173 COVID-19 tests were conducted in the province, bringing the total conducted in Manitoba from early February to 150,350.
