Dr. Roussin is speaking. Shared health systems lead Lanette Siragusa is back at the press briefings to address health-care system impacts.

Roussin says it's disappointing to need to have her back.

Not part of the briefing, but Maples Collegiate warns a student who was last at the school on Oct. 22 tested positive ... and attended a party over the weekend.

Those contacts are warned to isolate.

Roussin again warns to keep contacts to a minimum.

Reminds people 14 Manitobans died and 831 new cases were disclosed over the past week.

Many cases related to social gatherings. Many to Thanksgiving. Many people attended funerals.

Roussin says people have gone for medical treatment without disclosing exposure to a known case.

One entire surgical team is isolating for two weeks as a result.

Roussin says someone went from a social gathering to a care home, causing an outbreak.

Roussin says someone attended work for a whole week while symptomatic.

Someone else got infected and held a social gathering, creating more cases.

Says someone got sick, felt better, went back to work and exposed people.

Says someone sick went shopping and exposed other people.
