According to public health officials, 60 of those new cases are among unvaccinated Manitobans, with eight partially vaccinated.

The two deaths — which bring Manitoba’s coronavirus death toll to 1,226 — were a man in his 40s in the Southern Health region and a woman in her 50s in the Northern region.

Both were linked to a variant of concern.

Forty-five of the new cases were in the Northern Health region, with Southern Health logging 23 and the Winnipeg region with 21.

The provincial test positivity rate remained at 3.8 per cent, while Winnipeg’s rose to 1.5.
