Not coronavirus: Premier
Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister claimed Friday at a press conference the woman’s illness was not a result of COVID-19, but did not give any other details.
Manitoba Health said Friday morning that they couldn’t confirm anything about the woman’s immediate health due to privacy reasons. However, they said “no laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases have been identified in the province.”

A spokesperson said if the test for the woman comes back positive, the province will update the information in a timely manner. If the test is negative, they will not directly release that information but will continue to update statistics every Thursday, they said.
