Manitoba posted its lowest daily total of new COVID-19 cases in more than a month on Thursday, as well as the lowest five-day test-positivity rate since mid-November.
Public health officials announced 14 more deaths related to the illness, along with 221 new cases. That's the lowest single-day jump in cases since Nov. 3, when 103 new cases were reported.
The provincial test positivity fell to 13 per cent, down from 13.6 per cent and reaching its lowest level since Nov. 15. The rate in Winnipeg Thursday was 13.2 per cent.
