The Flin Flon district is one of several districts in the Northern Health Region (NHR) where one or no active cases of COVID-19 are currently present, according to provincial government statistics. Only one district in the NHR - Lynn Lake/Marcel Colomb/Leaf Rapids/O-Pipon-Na-Piwin/Granville Lake - has no active cases, but the Churchill region (which is covered by the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority) also has no active cases found. By contrast, the NHR still has 209 active cases of the disease, with more than 40 per cent of those active cases in The Pas/OCN/Kelsey district. That district has 85 active cases as of July 13, ahead of the second-highest district, the Shamattawa/York Factory/Tataskweyak/Split Lake district, which has 63 active cases. ....
One new case was reported in the Flin Flon/Snow Lake/Cranberry Portage/Sherridon district, along with two recoveries from the disease.

A full list of qualifying medications and health conditions can be found on the provincial government website. ....
“Supporting our northern communities with essential infrastructure like additional roads and water treatment plants greatly impacts and benefits the well-being of Manitobans living in these communities. These projects also have a positive effect on the strengthening and rebuilding of the provincial economy as a whole,” said Indigenous and Northern Relations Minister Eileen Clarke in a March 4 news release. “I am pleased to have worked together and across departments to bring these capital projects to fruition; when communities are strong, Manitoba is strong.” Projects funded north of the 53rd parallel included $175,700 for the demolition of the water treatment plant in Granville Lake, $129,000 for community roads in Moose Lake, $120,000 for community roads in Cormorant and $100,000 for a fire hall and a water treatment plant roof in Easterville. $60,301 went to a water treatment plant upgrade in Nelson House and $50,000 towards lagoon road upgrades in Wabowden.
