In Manitoba as a whole, the province is reporting 383 new cases of COVID-19 and a five day test positivity rate of 13.6% in Manitoba.

For a bit of a different perspective of Prairie Mountain Health region cases, I've taken the daily case totals by age bracket as published on the provincial dashboard and plotted on a graph. Data goes back four months to August 7 when I started recording.

The first graph is a little easier to read, using the ranges of 0-19, 20-39, 40-59, 60-79 and 80+. The second graph breaks down further at 0-9, 10-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, 80-89, 90-99 and 100+.

Sharpest incline on the line at any given point in time would be indicative of a more rapid rise in cases in any given age bracket... 

And one more perspective on Prairie Mountain Health cases...  
this using pie charts to compare the proportion of cases across age brackets up to October 31 and then from November 1 through to today's report. Keep in mind when interpreting in this post and the prev one that these are based on the dashboard reporting date, which will lag the date that each case actually got tested... and lag dates further still that cases were actually acquired:
