WINNIPEG People staying at the Manwin Hotel are scrambling to find a new place to stay after Manitoba Health shut it down. A provincial spokesperson told CTV News health officials were notified on Tuesday about a lack of heat at the hotel located at 655 Main St. The province said when inspectors arrived at the hotel later that day they found there was no heat. The province said they determined safety was compromised with no water for the fire system to use. A health hazard order was issued on Wednesday, closing down the hotel until minimum standards listed in the order are met
While northern numbers have dropped, another 75 cases were reported throughout the north, mostly confined to three districts. Of the 75 cases announced in northern Manitoba, 52 were announced in the Cross Lake/Pimicikamak district, which due to data corrections elsewhere, is now the region s largest COVID-19 hotspot. The district now has 167 active cases of COVID-19 as of Feb. 18 - almost a full third of the north s remaining active cases. New cases were also reported in Thompson - nine new cases were reported in the Thompson/Mystery Lake district, although active cases showed a slight decrease because of 11 reported recoveries - and in Island Lake, where eight new cases were found.
