A Winnipegger who travelled to Africa and Europe has brought back Manitoba’s first detected case of the U.K. variant of COVID-19, officials learned this week, just as they prepare to loosen pandemic restrictions. Once (variants) do find their way into Manitoba, I think the probability of yet another surge is quite high, said Dr. Anand Kumar, an infectious disease specialist, who noted vaccines still aren t widely available.
As of midnight Monday night, restrictions will be loosened in the Moncton and Edmundston regions, and Public Health has reported just two new cases the lowest case numbers since New Year's Day.
The arrival of the COVID-19 variant in Saskatchewan paired with record high hospitalization numbers is causing concern for the Saskatchewan Union of Nurses.
