More than 26,000 new plastic health cards have been distributed.
The province began mailing out the cards, replacing the old paper version, just over two weeks ago.
“We are ramping up production, with daily numbers increasing in April,” a spokesperson for the provincial government said in an email Tuesday.
More than 270,000 Manitobans had applied for a new card as of Monday.
Manitobans were invited to apply for a replacement online Jan. 15. The NDP government promised to introduce plastic replacements in last year’s provincial budget.
