The data that informs the charts below — cases, hospitalizations, ICU admissions and deaths — are available in the province’s weekly respiratory surveillance report, which is currently updated every Friday. You can find those reports here.

 

Wastewater surveillance

Health Canada’s wastewater dashboard shows the concentration of COVID-19 in wastewater samples from different sites. This data can be found on Health Canada’s website, here.

The green line shows the seven-day rolling average of the viral load for each site. Health Canada calculates the seven-day rolling average by averaging the viral loads from each day with the previous six days.

An ongoing increase or decrease in the viral load is more reliable for indicating trends. If the wastewater signals are high or increasing, this may indicate a high level of COVID in the community.

The chart below shows wastewater surveillance in Winnipeg as reported from April 2021 — when data first became available in Winnipeg — to March 30, 2023.

 

Vaccine uptake

The chart below shows the cumulative percentage of all people in Manitoba who have received a COVID-19 vaccine, by vaccination status.

The data that informs this chart is available in the province’s weekly respiratory surveillance report, which is updated every Friday. You can find those reports here.

Trump defends Iran war in address to UN General Assembly

Kelly Geraldine Malone, The Canadian Press 5 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 7:31 PM CDT

UNITED NATIONS - U.S. President Donald Trump told the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday he has a choice to make on Iran: negotiate a deal or "annihilate the Islamic Republic."

In a wide-ranging speech, Trump defended his war on Iran and boasted of American strength, claiming that "while others have talked, I have acted.”

He celebrated the U.S. military operation to oust Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro earlier this year and a new agreement to expand the American military presence in Greenland, which came after his threats of annexation.

But those actions have upended U.S. relationships with other nations, including traditional allies. Many of those allies have used the United Nations forum to call for a return to international law.

Hepatitis A case detected at Winnipeg school

2 minute read Yesterday at 3:55 PM CDT

A case of hepatitis A was recently diagnosed at Shaughnessy Park School in northwest Winnipeg, with parents, guardians, students and staff advised to monitor for symptoms until Nov 3.

An immunization clinic will be held at the school, the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority said in a letter to parents, guardians and staff Friday. The school has students in nursery to Grade 8.

Manitoba Health has been monitoring an increase in cases of hepatitis A — an acute liver infection — with 1,004 reported between September 2024 and Sept. 10, 2026. The province said 257 hospitalizations, eight intensive care unit admissions and seven deaths were reported during that period.

"While the rate of cases in the Winnipeg health region increased in the spring and has remained stable since then, there has been a decreasing trend in the rest of the province," a provincial spokesperson said in a statement.
