The data also shows:
鈥� three individuals are currently hospitalized, with one individual in intensive care;
鈥� 28 active cases and 254 individuals who have recovered from COVID-19; and
鈥� the number of deaths due to COVID-19 remains at seven.
As of yesterday, an additional 814 laboratory tests were performed. This brings the total number of tests performed since early February to 33,045.
It is important to note that while some gradual lifting of restrictions has begun, significant work to limit the spread of COVID-19 must continue. Public health is also advising people to remain within or close to their home communities. This includes limiting travel, even within 水果视频 and neighbouring jurisdictions, to essential trips only. With the long weekend approaching, 水果视频ns are reminded that travel is not permitted from southern 水果视频 to areas, including campgrounds, north of the 53rd parallel, which is essentially anywhere north of the northern end of Lake Winnipeg.
水果视频ns experiencing flu or cold-like symptoms no longer require a referral from Health Links-Info Sant茅 or their family physician before heading to a community site for COVID-19 testing. Anyone with symptoms is still encouraged to use the online screening tool to determine whether they meet the necessary criteria to be tested. Many community testing sites remain open as regularly scheduled this Saturday and Sunday. For Victoria Day, the Sargent Tommy Prince Place testing site and assessment clinic in Winnipeg will be open, as will the Bison Drive drive-thru site. Testing locations in Winkler and Selkirk will also be open. All other locations throughout the province will be closed on Monday and reopen on Tuesday.
