No new probable cases of COVID-19 (coronavirus) were reported in Manitoba on Monday, leaving the provincial total at 295.
Dr. Brent Roussin, chief provincial public health officer, said there are 10 active cases, 278 people have recovered and there are currently no hospitalizations. Seven people have died from the virus.
Dr. Roussin revealed the single new case announced over the weekend was a temporary foreign worker from the Southern Health Region and was travel-related.
Two cases that were identified last week have been linked to two truck drivers who had multiple routes through the United States.
"Certainly it is important to know that these individuals took all the right action," Roussin said. "They became symptomatic soon after returning, they were self-isolated and tested, and there is unlikely to be any significant contacts in the community in this regard."
