WINNIPEG Manitoba may have announced potential changes to Code Red restrictions, but that doesn’t mean it’s in the clear, as 23 of Winnipeg’s long-term care facilities are still experiencing COVID-19 outbreaks. According to the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority (WRHA), which oversees the operations of the city’s 39 long-term care facilities, there are 42 residents at Winnipeg’s personal care homes with COVID-19, as well as 37 staff members. A facility declares an outbreak after at least one resident, staff member, or external service provider tests positive for COVID-19. The WRHA notes that as of 9 a.m. on Jan. 19, there aren’t any COVID-19 cases among the residents at 14 of the facilities with current outbreaks.
