Manitoba public health officials have identified two new cases of COVID-19 in Winnipeg as of Wednesday morning. A woman in her 20s and a man in his 30s from the Winnipeg health region are the latest cases, provincial health officials said in a news bulletin. Public health officials are investigating these cases and will release more information, including any risks to the public, as needed, the bulletin says. The risk to others is low, but health officials are sharing the information to ensure people are aware and get tested if symptoms develop. On Tuesday, Manitoba Health Minister Cameron Friesen attempted to ease public concern about rising COVID-19 infections after Manitoba saw a spike in confirmed cases over the last few days.
