A truck driver who travelled outside the province and a close household contact of that person are the two new cases of COVID-19 announced in Manitoba on Friday. Public health officials are still looking into both of those cases. The update brings the total number of cases in the province to 300, nine of which are active, health officials announced at a news conference. Manitoba had a total of 300 COVID-19 cases as of June 5. Some hospitals in Manitoba will loosen restrictions around allowing visitors starting today, said Manitoba Shared Health Chief Nursing Officer Lanette Siragusa.
