"Be kind. Let's avoid stigmatizing people, let's avoid calling out individuals, let's work together, we're in this together."

That from Manitoba's Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Brent Roussin, who says we're not done with this virus yet as the province saw an uptick in cases over the weekend.

"All Manitobans have really stepped up," he adds. "Let's continue to be kind to each other and we'll get through this."

18 new cases of COVID-19 were identified over the weekend, bringing Manitoba's total to 354.

One individual is in intensive care, there are 29 active cases and 318 people have recovered. The number of deaths remains at seven.

Officials say the recent high case count is thanks to an outbreak in several Hutterite colonies, along with international travel-related cases, and one transport driver.

One new case was identified in the Southern Health region, 11 new cases were identified in the Interlake-Eastern health region and three cases in the Prairie Mountain Health region.

One of the individuals announced as a positive COVID-19 case was a passenger on Asiana flight OZ 0704 from Manila, Philippines to Seoul, South Korea on July 7, Air Canada AC 0064 Seoul to Vancouver on July 8 (rows 26 to 32) and Air Canada AC 0296 Vancouver to Winnipeg on July 8 (rows 21 to 27).

Individuals on these flights are advised to self-isolate for 14 days following the flight and monitor for symptoms. Passengers on these flights, but not in the affected seats, should self-monitor for symptoms and self-isolate if they develop.

While Public Health assesses the risk to others as low, it is sharing this information to ensure people are aware and know to seek testing if symptoms develop.
