Manitoba COVID-19 Outbreak

Collected by: University of Winnipeg

Archived since: May, 2020

Description:

The Manitoba COVID-19 Outbreak Collection created by the University of Winnipeg Library in collaboration with the University of Manitoba Libraries preserves and makes accessible archived web content related to Manitoba's response to the Novel Coronavirus (Covid-19) global outbreak. This collection documents the socio-economic impacts of the pandemic on the province, which saw its first cases on March 12, 2020. Identification of relevant web content began in March 2020, shortly after the first cases were reported in Manitoba. Initial web crawling began in May 2020 and the collection is updated as needed throughout the duration of the pandemic. The content crawled by the University of Winnipeg Library includes websites related to galleries, libraries, archives, and museums (cultural institutions, also known as GLAM, with a mission to provide access to knowledge); health and wellness (medical centres, medical associations, and organizations related to wellness and the improvement of health); Indigenous organizations (all organizations owned by or relating to Indigenous Peoples in Manitoba); labour and unions (any organization, association, or business dealing with labour relations and unions); media and communications (outlets used to store and deliver information, including print media, news, and broadcasting); religious organizations (religious and faith-based organizations with mission of social value based on that faith); and social work and services (public services provided by the government, private, profit, and non-profit organizations). It should be noted that the University of Manitoba and University of Winnipeg websites are not included in the crawled websites as they are routinely crawled by the respective institutions. Also note that some institutions may be cross listed with groups crawled by either or both Universities. The University of Manitoba Libraries have further documented websites relating to agriculture; arts and culture; business, trades, and technology; education; emergency services; entertainment and recreation services, and government.

This has especially been the case for smaller community and faith-based newspapers like the Toronto-based Canadian Jewish News and Winnipeg’s Jewish Post and News.

Out of the 457 individuals admitted to an intensive care unit in that time, 358 — or 78 per cent — reported having one or more underlying health conditions.

Description: As we hunker down at home to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, some of us may find ourselves in a room we’ve rarely occupied before: the kitchen. In many ways, the pandemic has changed our relationship with food. We can’t eat in restaurants. We aren’t spending Sunday dinners with the folks. Quick dashes to the grocery store have been replaced by once-a-week (or less frequent) excursions to stock up. Some of us are watching our expenses more closely than ever as a result of loss of income. Despite the challenges, there are easy ways to adapt to our temporary new reality.

Description: Maybe you’ve seen them on social media. Maybe you’ve even seen them in your own neighbourhood. So-called "driveway parties," with people arranging lawn chairs, two metres apart. Or meeting in parking lots and socializing from their cars. It’s a physical-distancing loophole that might be tempting, especially as the weather begins to warm up, but Dr. Marcia Anderson, a medical officer of health for the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority, is pretty frank on the subject. "We would not recommend the driveway, lawn chair, car-parking gatherings."

A Berlin-based online ordering and delivery app, Foodora announced last week that it was ceasing operations in Canada.

What was a bit alarming was that the company chose to declare bankruptcy when it closed, owing restaurants across Canada nearly $5 million.

Description: Faith communities are usually safe sanctuaries when the world seems bleak. A heartening side effect of belonging to a faith is that all have rituals and traditions for supporting members through the big events of life, both good and bad: births and deaths, marriages and divorces, coming of age and moving to the nursing home. But these rituals and traditions are at odds with physical distancing. With all the fear and suffering resulting from COVID-18, it’s a time when we most need our faith families, but we’ve been forced to disperse.

Description: To mask or not to mask? A month into the COVID-19 lockdown, there are clear signs of confusion among the public. When we were all told to stay home and stop socializing, we were also told it was unnecessary to cover our faces in public if we practised rigorous social distancing and hand hygiene. The advice seemed sound, particularly since public health officials wanted to ensure that all available medical-grade masks were made available to people working in health care. But then, that simple narrative began to unravel.
