New cases

"These numbers are an under-reporting of COVID-19 in the community," the province says in a statement. "Positive test results from rapid antigen tests, which people generally do at home, are not collected or reported."

There are 75,927 recoveries and 38,691 active cases.

Manitoba's five-day test positivity rate is 33.3 per cent. There were 1,985 recorded COVID-19 tests Sunday.

"Only symptomatic individuals or those advised by public health should visit a COVID-19 provincial testing site," the province says in a statement.

Rapid antigen tests will be handed out to most people visiting a provincial testing site.
