Non-Emergency cardiac surgeries have been once again temporarily cancelled in the province.

A Shared Health spokesperson says the decision was made due to the need for more ICU beds in the province for the continued influx of Covid-19 patients at Manitoba hospitals.

Dozens of patients have been moved from Winnipeg Hospitals to other hospitals in the province due to the continued fourth wave of the pandemic.

A total of 41 patients have already been moved from Winnipeg hospitals while 21 have been transferred from the Interlake-Eastern Health Region to free up ICU beds.
