Manitoba reports 130 new COVID-19 cases, 2 deaths Friday
CBC
There are 130 new COVID-19 cases in Manitoba on Friday and two more people have died from the illness, the province's online coronavirus dashboard says.
The biggest proportion of the new cases is in the Southern Health region, which has 43, the dashboard says.
The rest are split between the Northern Health Region, with 33, the Winnipeg health region, with 20, the Interlake-Eastern health region, with 18, and the Prairie Mountain Health region, with 16.
Almost three out of every four new cases were in people who are not fully immunized against the illness, the province's online vaccine status dashboard says.
Ninety of the new cases are in people who hadn't gotten vaccinated at all, while seven were only partially immunized.
Friday's update marks the last time the province will release any COVID-19 numbers until after the Thanksgiving long weekend.
That means more information about the people who died won't be released until the province puts out its next COVID-19 news bulletin next week.
