No new cases were announced Monday, keeping Manitoba's COVID-19 count to 295.

Officials say with the low numbers in Manitoba, the greatest danger remains importing the virus into the province.

Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Brent Roussin explains two addional cases last week can be attributed to a pair of truck drivers with routes through the U.S. He notes because of their vigilant self-isolation it's unlikely there will be any significant community transmission.

Roussin notes expanded asymptomatic testing will provide another tool for individuals who travel for work and maintain supply lines like truck drivers who leave the province on a regular basis.

"It needs to be voluntary, but certainly an option to continue to reduce our risk," he says, adding they're working closely with the Manitoba Trucking Association.

Roussin also provided additional information on the new COVID-19 case reported over the weekend. He notes the case involved a temporary foreign worker and says all appropriate actions were taken to limit contacts. Officials continue to follow-up with the active cases.

Currently no individuals are in hospital, though officials monitor 10 active cases while 278 people have recovered. The number of deaths remains at seven.

As of yesterday, an additional 806 laboratory tests were performed. This brings the total number of tests performed since early February to 44,692.
