WINNIPEG Cases of COVID-19 have spiked in the Southern Health Region, as Manitoba reported more cases and deaths on Friday. Of the 81 new cases reported in the province on Friday, 28 were in the Southern Health Region. This is a significant spike from Thursday when only three cases were reported. The majority of the cases in the region were in the Altona area. The majority of those cases reported today were household contacts, so were already isolating and became cases, said Dr. Brent Roussin, the chief provincial public health officer. He said the province would be following the situation in the Southern health region. He said the goal is to have public health measures stop the transmission chain where it is.
