WINNIPEG – Premier Brian Pallister and Dr. Brent Roussin held a news conference Tuesday morning to announce a further loosening of COVID-19 restrictions.

“Today is another big day for Manitobans, especially for our local business owners who are eager to safely reopen their doors, and provide the goods and services that Manitobans have missed the past few months,” said Pallister. “With fewer restrictions, we must remain cautious, in fact, even more cautious. In the absence of COVID-19 vaccines from the federal government, following the fundamentals is how we continue to protect each other and save lives.”

The updated public health orders kick in on Friday morning.
