The province reported another under-200 day of new COVID-19 cases Tuesday.
At 155, the count is the lowest it has been since the fall surge began and critical level red restrictions were put in place in mid-November.
Also, the active case count dropped dramatically by 1,354, and Dr. Jazz Atwal, Manitoba’s acting deputy chief public health officer, confirmed this would continue. That was related to that backlog, cleaning up our administrative data. Obviously, we’re getting closer to the real number. There will be continued work done to fix that metric up, whether it happens every two or three days or once a week, said Atwal at a virtual media briefing.
