Northern Manitoba reports more than 20 new COVID-19 cases for the 11th day in a row Nov. 23

BY IAN GRAHAM

EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Manitoba announced a record-high number of new daily COVID-19 cases Nov. 23, adding 546 new cases and pushing the total since the pandemic began to more than 14,000, about one per cent of the province’s population.

Twenty-seven new cases were announced in the north, the 11th straight day with more than 20 new positive tests in the region, which has 449 active cases of COVID-19.

Only 16 new cases were announced Nov. 17 but provincial information online shows that more than 20 northerners actually tested positive on Nov. 16.

Eleven new cases were announced in The Pas/Opaskwayak Cree Nation/Kelsey health district, which is nearing 200 active cases, as well as five in the Grand Rapids/ Mosakahiken/Moose Lake/ Easterville/Chemawawin health district, which now has 91 active cases, the second-most of any northern health district. There were

also three new cases in the Shamattawa/York Factory/ Tataskweyak/Split Lake health district, two in the Island Lake health district and one each in the Cross Lake/Pimicikamak Cree Nation health district and the Flin Flon/Snow Lake/ Cranberry/Sherridon health district, which now has five active cases and had its first COVID outbreak declared on Monday at the Flin Flon personal care home.

A Northern Regional Health Authority (NRHA) spokesperson confirmed to the Flin Flon Reminder Nov. 23 that a staff member at the home tested positive for the disease. The NRHA was made aware of the case Nov. 22.

On the same day, a different staff member, working at the Northern Lights Manor in Flin Flon, also tested positive for COVID-19.

No residents of either facility have tested positive as of Nov. 23. It is unknown if any residents were exposed to either staff member or where the staff members may have acquired

the disease.

While no outbreak has been officially announced at Northern Lights Manor by the provincial government, the NRHA confirmed that outbreak protocols are in effect at both facilities.

An outbreak notice for the facility will be issued later this week.

“Public Health declared an outbreak in both facilities and immediately began the process of contact tracing and management of the cases. As a precaution, all residents of both care homes were offered COVID-19 testing – 98 per cent of the residents have been tested. To date, no residents have tested positive for COVID-19 at either location,” said the spokesperson Nov. 23.

The outbreak status will include new, more restrictive measures at the homes. Admissions to both facilities have been suspended and staff are being screened daily for COVID-19 symptoms, according to the spokesperson.

“All staff who are in con-

Gillam Motor Inn receives $5,000 ticket for failing to collect customers’ contact information The Gillam Motor Inn has been issued a $5,000 ticket for not ensuring that contact information was collected from customers as required under COVID-19 pandemic public health orders.

The establishment is one of at least nine businesses throughout the province, including a McDonald’s

in Neepawa and a gas station in Riverton, to receive $5,000 tickets since the beginning of November, the provincial government says.

Several individuals have also received $1,296 tickets, including six for failing to isolate as required, two for unnecessary travel to North-

ern Manitoba and others for attending gatherings larger than public health restrictions allow, including one of more than 20 people.

One person was ticketed at an anti-mask demonstration in Steinbach recently but the province says more tickets related to that event may be handed out.

Cross Lake RCMP issued three tickets for violating COVID-19 public health orders Nov. 2-13 Cross Lake RCMP fined three people for failing to comply with provincial emergency orders under the Public Health Act between Nov. 2. and Nov. 13.

Two of these fines, issued Nov. 4 and Nov. 8, were to adult males for not self-isolating as directed and another was issued to a teenager from Winnipeg for travelling to Northern Manitoba in violation of a ban on non-essential travel to the region.

A man in The Pas was fined by The Pas RCMP Nov. 7 for failing to self-isolate as directed.

Four other fines were issued by RCMP in the first two weeks of November, including one to a man in Fisher Branch and two to women in Peguis, all for failing to self-isolate as directed. A woman was fined by St-Pierre-Jolys RCMP for having more than five people at her residence.

RCMP officers across Manitoba also issued 42 verbal warnings between Nov. 2 and Nov. 13. Since April 9, the force has issued 119 warnings and 50 fines for failing to follow public health orders.

Manitobans living outside of Winnipeg should not call RCMP to report COVID-19 related issues.

Reports can be made to the Manitoba Government Inquiry line at 1-866-626-4862.

Twenty-seven new cases of COVID-19 were reported in Northern Manitoba Nov. 23, including 11 new cases in The Pas/Opaskwayak Cree Nation/Kelsey health district, which now has nearly 200 active cases. tact with residents will be 60s, having been announced provincial public health wearing personal protect- on Nov. 21.

This year is on track to be the worst on record for the formation of Arctic sea ice, which the bears rely on for the hunt, according to Alysa McCall,

director of conservation outreach and a staff scientist at Polar Bears International.

“Right now, we’d expect a certain area of the High Arctic to be covered with sea ice,” but it remains open water, she said.

‘Paradise’ singer ready to share first album with the world

LOCAL JOURNALISM INITIATIVE RE­ PORTER, WINDSPEAKER.COM

Matthew Monias knows exactly what he wants. “I have a clear vision of what I want to do with my life,� said the 20-year-old, a member of Garden Hill First Nation in Manitoba. He’s hoping to become a hugely successful recording artist and music producer while continuing to inspire others.

Monias, who performs under the name Mattmac, has been blind since birth.

His lifelong passion for music hit a milestone on Friday when his debut album 20/20 was officially released.

The eight-song album is a collection of his raps, hip hop and beats.

His first single, “Paradise,� is already deemed a hit. It is one of the top songs on Indigenous playlists across the country and is on the verge of cracking Top 40 lists on commercial radio.
