Good news came on the COVID-19 front in both Manitoba and Saskatchewan Saturday. Between the two provinces, five times as many recoveries were reported May 23 than new cases of the disease.
In Manitoba, where the disease has appeared stable in recent weeks, no new cases of COVID-19 were reported May 23. One more person who had been suffering from COVID-19 was reported to have recovered. As of May 23, only 17 Manitobans still had COVID-19.
Across the provincial border, Saskatchewan reported three new cases of COVID-19 - two in Saskatoon and one in a community in the far north. Along with word of the three new cases came 14 separate recoveries from the disease. Saskatchewan has reported more than twice as many cases of the disease - 630 to 292 - and has more than five times as many active cases - 88 to 17 - compared to Manitoba.
Both provinces are expected to carry on with the next phase of business reopening plans in the coming weeks.
