On Tuesday, Manitoba recorded its highest daily new COVID-19 case count in nearly three months: 211.
In as little as 10 days, that number could double and 400 cases each day could overwhelm the health-care system, based on what happened in fall 2020, says Dr. Anand Kumar, attending ICU physician at the Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg. We re on the cusp of a major wave again, and I think that short of extremely tight restrictions, it s going to be difficult to stop it, Kumar says.

Sabrina Cornwell woke up from a familiar nightmare this week, sweating that her feverish dream could again become reality.
It’s the kind of bad dream she’s had before. Only this time, even as she finds herself preparing for it earlier, Cornwell’s not sure she will survive the pandemic-related odds stacked against her. As a hairdresser, and a mother of three kids to feed, this will be the third time I’ll be asked to shut down, said Cornwell on Tuesday, who rents a chair at Hairplay Salon in Winnipeg.
