Three more Manitobans have died from COVID-19, the province reported Wednesday.
This brings Manitoba’s COVID-19 death toll to 1,703.
According to the province’s COVID-19 dashboard, there were 436 COVID-related hospitalizations on Wednesday, with 202 patients being treated for active infections. This is an increase from 406 patients on Tuesday.
The number of ICU patients also went up by two to 23, with 15 of those being treated for active COVID infections. The province also added 210 new COVID-19 cases, bringing the active case count to 7,903. However, health officials have previously said case counts in the province are likely higher because at-home rapid tests are not included in the total.
The five-day test positivity rate is 13 per cent.
In terms of vaccines, 86.3 per cent of eligible Manitobans have received a first dose, 82.3 per cent are fully vaccinated with two shots and 44.1 per cent have received a third dose.
