Current Situation

NEW Last updated: March 30, 2021

Public health officials advise that no additional deaths in people with COVID-19 are being reported today.

The current five-day COVID-19 test positivity rate is 4.3 per cent provincially and 3.5 per cent in Winnipeg. As of 9:30 a.m. today, 77 new cases of the virus have been identified. This brings the total number of lab-confirmed cases in Manitoba to 34,052.

Public health officials are announcing that 11 new screened or sequenced cases of variant of concerns have been detected, one from the Interlake-Eastern health region, three from the Southern Health-Santé Sud health region and seven from the Winnipeg health region.

Today’s COVID-19 data shows:

  • one case in the Interlake-Eastern health region; 
  • 27 cases in the Northern health region;  
  • one case in the Prairie Mountain Health region;  
  • five cases in the Southern Health-Santé Sud health region; and  
  • 43 cases in the Winnipeg health region.

The data also shows:

  • 1,197 active cases and 31,921 individuals who have recovered from COVID-19; 
  • 64 people in hospital with active COVID-19 as well as 86 people in hospital with COVID-19 who are no longer infectious but continue to require care, for a total of 150 hospitalizations; 
  • 13 people in intensive care units with active COVID-19 as well as 18 people with COVID-19 who are no longer infectious but continue to require critical care, for a total of 31 ICU patients; 
  • the total number of deaths in people with COVID-19 is 934; and
  • the total number of screened or sequenced cases related to variants of concern for the following:
    • B.1.1.7 is 199;
    • B.1.351 is 14;
    • cases that have not been categorized is 37; and
    • the total number of variant of concern cases is 250.

Numbers in yesterday’s bulletin provided an incorrect breakdown and total of variants of concern due to a data processing error. The error has since been corrected and the data listed today is now accurate.

Laboratory testing numbers show 1,163 tests were completed yesterday, bringing the total number of lab tests completed since early February 2020 to 580,442.
