Indigenous Services minister says Manitoba putting ‘significant strain’ on the health system – APTN News
Indigenous Services Minister Marc Miller says that while parts of Ontario continue to be ravaged by the COVID-19 pandemic, Manitoba is the greatest concern at the moment.
“The province has the highest rate of new COVID cases in the country. This has been putting a significant strain on the healthcare resources,” Miller said at a news conference in Ottawa Wednesday.
“Officials are encouraging everyone to stay home as much as possible, and to limit potential exposure to the virus and to get vaccinated.”
With questions surrounding the delivery of the Moderna vaccine, Ottawa said that officials are encouraged by the changes to the storage requirements for the Pfizer vaccine which will make it easier to transport.
