There are more than 250 people in the hospital due to COVID-19 with most of those people having active cases.

There are 1,757 new COVID-19 cases Tuesday, bringing the total number of cases to 87,263. The majority of the new cases are from Winnipeg.

There are 17,076 active cases and 68,787 recoveries. The number of active cases is likely lower due to call backlogs.

New cases by region include:

  • 1,350 in Winnipeg
  • 152 in Interlake-Eastern
  • 122 in Southern
  • 73 in Prairie Mountain
  • 60 in Northern

 

Manitoba's five-day test rate is 39.5 per cent. This high number is in part due to people who test positive on rapid tests going to provincial sites to confirm the results.

The province says 4,424 tests were completed on Monday.
