Manitoba announces six new COVID-19 cases Sunday
Public health officials announced six new cases of COVID-19 on Sunday, the single highest tally in more than three months.
Officials made the announcement on Twitter as there are no formal releases on weekends. No further details were given although they are likely to come at Monday’s COVID-19 update.
It was the largest single-day tally since April 11 when the province announced 13 new cases. Sunday’s announcement follows one new case being announced on Saturday and five cases on Friday.

The total number of lab-confirmed positive and probable positive cases in Manitoba now sits at 343. The online data will be updated on Monday.
As of Friday, the running five-day test positivity rate for the province was reported at 0.43% with over 73,000 tests performed since early February. The total number of active cases was 11. There is no one in hospital due to COVID-19 and the total number of deaths remains at seven.
On Friday, it was reported that a Hutterite colony in the Interlake-Eastern health region was the site of five new cases of COVID-19. It was the second time in a week that positive COVID-19 cases have been confirmed on a Hutterite colony in Manitoba.
MASK PROTEST AT LEG
About two dozen protesters gathered at the Manitoba Legislature on Sunday afternoon for the March to Unmask protest to put pressure on the provincial to stay away from calling for widespread mask use. Organized locally by the Manitoba Together Facebook group, the protest began with speeches at the Legislature before marching to The Forks and back, carrying signs reading “I will not live in fear,” “Unmask the truth” and “Mask hysteria”.
Public health officials haven’t mandated widespread use of masks in Manitoba, but it isn’t off the table.

Earlier this month, the provincial chief public health officer said at a press conference he could not rule them out in the fall. With the flu season on the horizon it will be difficult for medical professionals to differentiate between respiratory viruses and COVID-19, which will make containment more difficult.
On Saturday, Quebec became the first province to mandate masks inside public spaces across the region.
