COVID-19 has hit the world very hard, and it impacted people negatively. Many people have suffered from this pandemic and are looking forward to returning to their ‘normal’ lives. Unfortunately, the virus doesn’t seem to agree with this vision.
New data released by the government have shown an increase in COVID-19 cases in Manitoba. This means Manitobans are getting hospitalized, and some are facing death.”There is a lot of talk about learning to live with this virus. We cannot live with mounting hospitalizations and deaths, and we cannot live with inequitable access to vaccines and other tools. Learning to live with COVID-19 does not mean we pretend it’s not there. It means we use the tools we have to protect ourselves and protect others.” said Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus of the World Health Organization. Although it’s been almost four years since the start of this pandemic, the virus has produced new variants, and it’s still there. Dr. Theresa Tam, Canada’s chief public health officer, said COVID-19 “has not left the stage.”
Moreover, Manitobans should keep up their guard regarding precautions and safety measures, and no one would want to get sick and ruin their whole summer holiday.
“I think it’s very important to be careful, both of my sisters got hospitalized because of COVID-19, so people should not take things easily.” said a Manitoban after being interviewed about this topic. Manitobans should enjoy their summer, but they should also keep COVID-19 and its variants in mind.
