Seven probable cases of the coronavirus variant first detected in the U.K. have been discovered in Pauingassi First Nation in eastern Manitoba. Eighteen members of the Canadian Armed Force landed in the remote northeastern community of Pauingassi First Nation a week ago. CBC News has reached out to the Canadian Armed Forces for an update on the mission. This news comes after the province reported one case of the B117 variant in Manitoba on Tuesday. It's not known if the case reported on Tuesday and the probable cases reported in Pauingassi are connected.
