Manitoba announced four deaths and 167 new cases of COVID-19 on Monday, the lowest numbers in more than a month.
This is the first time since Nov. 3 that Manitoba s daily count of new cases has been below 200.
Manitoba also posted its lowest test-positivity rate in more than a month, at 11.5 per cent provincewide. Winnipeg s test-positivity rate dropped to 10.5 per cent. Our case numbers are down today, which is definitely a positive, Dr. Jazz Atwal, Manitoba s acting deputy chief public health officer, said in a news conference Monday.
