A second ICU patient from Manitoba has died after being transported to Ontario.
The patient, a woman in her 50s, had been transported out of the province to receive care on May 23rd.
A total of 39 Manitobans are receiving care out of province in order to free up space in intensive care units, including 37 in Ontario and two in Saskatchewan.
Yesterday, the province announced the first death of a patient who had been transported for care outside of Manitoba.
Shared Health says that more patients are scheduled to be transferred today, including the first patient being sent to Alberta.
