“At the time of the wave, when there is a very giant buildup in cases, there is a new strain and this more deadly strain,” said Cynthia Carr of EPI Research.
Research suggests that the same people with the same underlying conditions are still at a higher threat of hospitalization or death, but the new strain appears to be more contagious, Carr said.
Carr told 680 CJOB that he became involved in increasing the number of other people in Manitoba, raising serious doubts.

On Saturday and Monday, there were two new COVID-19-related deaths, adding a man in his 40s, the province’s youngest coronavirus victim to date, and news that a Winnipeg police officer and 3 Manitoba prisons were infected.
Carr said that the COVID Alert application of the federal government, which was recently made available to the inhabitants of Manitoba, is very important among the developing instances that the province sees.
“The more people who participate in downloading this app on their phone, the faster you’ll be notified if you’re known as a close contact,” he said.

Prime Minister Brian Pallister responded Thursday to considerations of the long queues that have frustrated the inhabitants of Manitoba or simply refused, and said he intended to open more sites and exercise more staff.
“I’ve never had a hard time admitting mine in sport, business or politics and I’m perfectly willing to evaluate my own progress,” Pallister said.
“I will have to tell you now that the inhabitants of Manitoba deserve an advanced formula with more tests, shorter tails (and) faster reaction times.
