WINNIPEG – The province is imposing more COVID-19 restrictions in and around the city and also in northern Manitoba.

Because of widespread community transmission in the Winnipeg area, Dr. Brent Roussin says he’s worried about more infections in the north.

Starting Monday, that part of the province will see the same tougher measures that were brought in here at the start of the week.

Schools in the Winnipeg region will see new precautions starting Monday including the cancellation of field trips and choirs.
