Hey there, time traveller!

The number of COVID-19 patients in hospital and intensive care continues to drop.
According to the provincial COVID-19 dashboard, total hospitalizations were 614 as of Tuesday, a decrease of 19 since Monday. Of those cases, 411 people are listed as having active COVID.
Intensive care cases due to COVID-19 also fell slightly on Tuesday to 38, down from 40 on Monday. Of those patients in the ICU, 25 have active cases.
There were no deaths from COVID-19 reported Tuesday. The death toll from COVID-19 in Manitoba is 1,637.
Manitoba reported 389 new cases on the dashboard, but that is likely an undercount as the province doesn’t include rapid antigen tests taken at home. The total number of reported COVID-19 cases in Manitoba since the start of the pandemic is 127,394, which includes 15,327 active cases and 110,430 reported recoveries.
The province completed 1,451 laboratory tests Monday.
The five-day test positivity rate is 22 per cent.
