Manitoba has 24 new cases of COVID-19, with four patients in hospital, the chief provincial public health officer said on Monday. The jump in confirmed and presumptive cases comes as the Manitoba government strengthens its orders to keep people separated. The other investigated cases were either linked to travel or close contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19. Monday's spike in cases included the first report of COVID-19 in the Northern Health Region. She said health officials would not stop any procedures that would harm the patient if it were postponed.
