Public Health officials reported today 12 new cases of COVID-19 have been identified in Manitoba.  Seven of the cases are in the Interlake-Eastern Region, two each in the Winnipeg Health Region and the Prairie Mountain Health Region and one in the Southern Health Region.  That brings the provincial total to 366 cases reported, 41 of the cases are active, 318 individuals have recovered and one individual is in intensive care.

They note the high case counts are reflective of an outbreak of cases in several Hutterite colonies and some international travel related cases.  Investigations into the cases are ongoing and information will be provided as needed to inform people of any public health risks.

Meanwhile Saskatchewan Health reported today eight new cases with two each in the Far North and Central Region, one in Saskatoon and three in the South Region.  The provincial total is 970 reported cases, 12 are in hospital, 142 cases are considered active and 813 people have recovered.
