Manitoba reports nearly 750 new COVID-19 cases, highest daily case count during the pandemic

Manitoba will report nearly 750 new COVID-19 cases on Friday, the highest single-day case count since the pandemic began.

Manitoba will report nearly 750 new COVID-19 cases on Friday, the highest single-day case count since the pandemic began, as health officials once again urged people to change holiday plans in an attempt to avoid straining the health-care system.

“These increased case counts mean we’re going to be seeing increased demand on our testing system,” Roussin said, adding the current testing backlog for results is approximately 10,000 tests. He said the rising case numbers are due to Omicron, and with the high case numbers, the province should expect to see “significant strain” on the health-care system. Roussin said in the past week, 14 new COVID-19 patients were admitted to intensive care units.
