WINNIPEG – Premier Brian Pallister says he has a “gut feeling” that code red restrictions might be extended.

When chief public health officer Dr. Brent Roussin brought the measures in, he said they would be in place until at least December 11th.

However, Pallister thinks these latest COVID-19 rules restricting retail and gathering sizes could continue for some time, although the final decision is Roussin’s to make.

Yesterday was the deadliest day since the pandemic began when Manitoba’s top doctor announced 16 deaths from coronavirus.
