Preliminary investigations show the majority of Sunday’s cases in the Southern Health-Sante Sud are linked to a known cluster.

The data show there is one new case in the Interlake-Eastern Health Region, five in the Winnipeg health region, nine in the Prairie Mountain Health Region and 21 in Southern Health-Sante Sud.

Two previously reported cases have been removed. One was because a person is an out-of-province resident and the other was determined not to be a positive case.

That brings the total number of lab-confirmed positive and probable positive cases to 697.

The current test positivity rate in the province is 1.47 per cent.
