As of Sunday, Manitoba had 120 patients in intensive care wards, including 74 COVID-19 patients, according to Shared Health. Ten stable COVID-19 patients had been sent to hospitals in Ontario as of Sunday morning. In May 2020, Shared Health published a pandemic medical ethics framework that called for the creation of a triage process. "As with any medical protocol, triage protocols are developed by professionals in the health-care system, not elected officials," Goertzen said. Manitoba Shared Health declined to comment.
