More cases of COVID-19 were discovered in a third unit of Winnipeg's St. Boniface Hospital, according to an internal memo. In a letter to all staff and physicians on Friday, the hospital's president and CEO Martine Bouchard wrote that management declared a COVID-19 outbreak in the B5 unit. Anyone who was exposed will be told to self-isolate and be tested as the origin of the transmission is investigated. CBC News has reached out to Shared Health and the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority for updated numbers of cases.
