New cases of COVID-19 in Manitoba stayed in the double digits Wednesday, levels of active cases in the north continue to rise and the Flin Flon health district is seeing its own numbers drop.
Premier Brian Pallister said he is disappointed that the chairman of the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority travelled to Arizona in the midst of a global pandemic, but he suggested that Wayne McWhirter ought to be cut some slack because of his largely volunteer role.
At a news conference Thursday, Pallister gave no sign that the government would punish McWhirter for disregarding a strong recommendation from health officials and the premier himself that Manitobans avoid unnecessary travel.
A day earlier, Health Minister Heather Stefanson said the Progressive Conservatives had no plans to remove him from the post.
