The Winkler Drive-Thru Community Testing Site for COVID-19 has seen a jump in users in recent weeks.

Between July 13-17, a total of 218 patients were tested at the site. Then on July 20 and 21 alone 147 patients were tested.

The uptick comes on the heels of an increase in cases across the Province.

However, Manitoba's Chief Public Health Officer Brent Roussin says test positivity rates remains low.

Updated data analysis shows revisions are required to the five-day test positivity rates that were provided earlier this week. The revised data shows the rate was 0.66 per cent on July 20 (not 0.83 per cent), 0.8 per cent on July 21 (not 1.03 per cent) and 0.85 per cent on July 22 (not 1.12 per cent).

"We're certainly aware that Manitobans are concerned with the recent higher numbers... this is not unexpected. We're going to be dealing with this virus for quite some time," Roussin says, adding the vast majority of recent cases have been related to clusters or to travel. In the last week only a single case can't be linked to another cluster or travel.

"Southern Health-Santé Sud continues to monitor the number of tests at Winkler Drive-Thru Community Testing Site and make changes to meet the testing needs in the community. We appreciate everyone’s patience as we go through periods of increased volumes at our testing sites," a Southern Health spokesperson said. "Southern Health-Santé Sud sincerely thanks our staff for their dedication and commitment as we go through these ebbs and flows in activity."
