Coronavirus: Manitoba’s top doc says the actions of some Manitobans “let the virus off the hook”

Global News published this video item, entitled “Coronavirus: Manitoba’s top doc says the actions of some Manitobans “let the virus off the hook”” – below is their description.

Manitoba’s top doctor warned people across the province to reduce their contacts Monday as the province added 100 new cases of COVID-19 and reported another death from the virus. Monday’s new cases marked the seventh consecutive day new daily case counts have been 100 or higher in Manitoba. Dr. Brent Roussin, the province’s chief public health officer said 831 new cases have been identified and 14 people have died since last weekend alone. Roussin said dozens of health care professionals have had to take time off to self-isolate because people coming in for medical procedures aren’t disclosing that they’ve been in close contact to a positive case. ““We’re in a pandemic we have to expect to see cases … but what we shouldn’t expect and we shouldn’t accept are people that have 50 contacts, or people going to work when they’re ill, or people not being forthcoming with health care providers,” Roussin warned some Manitobans on Monday,.
