New health orders are coming to Manitoba as the holidays approach.
New health orders are coming to Manitoba as the holidays approach.
Dr. Brent Roussin, the chief provincial public health officer, and Health and Seniors Care Minister Audrey Gordon announced the new orders which will include restrictions on household gatherings.
“I come today with a message that I didn’t want to have to convey and probably none of us wanted to hear,” said Roussin.
“The current COVID-19 case numbers, the facts about how quickly Omicron is being transmitted in many jurisdictions and that impending community transition of Omicron here in Manitoba is very, very concerning.”
Under the new rules, Manitobans will only be allowed to gather with 10 vaccinated people plus those living at the house indoors. If there are unvaccinated people, the limit is five plus household members.
Roussin said those under 12 are excluded from these rules.
The other orders include:
