Overall, northern COVID-19 cases went down significantly April 22. A provincial government data correction has brought the number of active COVID-19 cases in northern Manitoba down dramatically. The region, which 711 listed cases Wednesday, now sits at 450 active cases after a backlog of cases were marked as recovered. Most of the cases that were moved were in remote areas, including in several Indigenous communities. The biggest change in the north was seen in the Pukatawagan-Mathias Colomb Cree Nation (MCCN) district, which now sits at 16 active cases of COVID-19 - as of Wednesday, 146 cases were listed as active in the district, an artificially high number because of provincial health reporting delays. The remote Island Lake district also saw cases drop, going from 348 active cases Wednesday to 240 Thursday.
