Hey there, time traveller!

Manitoba reported no new novel coronavirus cases on Sunday, and one probable case was found to be a false positive.
The latest bulletin issued by the province says there are 242 lab-confirmed positive and probable cases of the COVID-19 virus in Manitoba.
“Manitobans should not interpret current case numbers to mean the risk of COVID-19 is reduced. The current statistics may be a reflection of the effect strict social distancing measures have had and (they reaffirm) that these measures must be continued,” the statement said.

“Manitobans are reminded this is not the time to let their guard down.”
On Sunday, eight people were being treated in hospital after testing positive for COVID-19; four of them in intensive care.
In total, 96 people have recovered from the illness and four people have died.
On Saturday, the Cadham Provincial Laboratory conducted 850 COVID-19 tests. Since early February, 17,221 tests have been done.
“Actions taken today will affect case numbers in the weeks ahead. All Manitobans must remain vigilant to flatten the curve of this virus,” the province said.
“This weekend is normally busy with gatherings for Easter or Passover celebrations. However, families are reminded that gatherings with anyone from outside your household are strongly discouraged.”
During the long weekend, multiple community testing sites have changed hours of operations.
Winnipeg’s Mount Carmel Clinic testing facility, at 886 Main St., is closed Sunday. The other three testing facilities in the city, as well as the assessment clinic at the St. James Centennial Pool, continue to operate on regular hours.
Testing sites in Thompson, Flin Flon and The Pas remain open, but have reduced hours of operation. They are open from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. throughout the long weekend.
Testing sites in Selkirk, Portage la Prairie, Steinbach and Winkler continue to operate as usual.
