Manitoba health officials held a daily briefing on COVID-19 cases in the province on Monday, saying there are no new cases rather than the three new presumptive cases of COVID-19 in the province announced on Sunday. Dr. Brent Roussin, Manitoba’s Chief Provincial Public Health Officer warned Manitobans from scammers pretending to be from Manitoba health officials and asking for financial information. Dr. Roussin said approximately 400 tests were done on Sunday, all reported back negative, added that no tests will be done on people with no symptoms. Roussin stressed on all Manitobans including health-care workers to cancel or postpone all non essential travel, advised Canadians coming back home to self-isolate and self-monitor for symptoms for 14 days. The number of cases in Manitoba remains seven, the vast majority of cases are travel-related, in the video “Coronavirus outbreak: Manitoba officials warn people about COVID-19 related scams“, below:
