Don’t go to the cabin, Manitoba — public health officials and cottage country politicians have repeated their calls to stay away amid the COVID-19 pandemic as the weather heats up. “Our emergency department right now is — we don’t have the resources, they’re in other areas right now, so please be cognizant of why we’re asking you not to come,” said Dan Reynard, Kenora, Ont.’s mayor, in a phone interview.
The small city situated on Lake of the Woods has just four intensive care beds in its hospital. The area’s public health officials announced the city’s first confirmed COVID-19 case over the past weekend — with another identified Wednesday.
