Manitoba’s Chief Public Health Officer has announced changes to the current public health orders.
“With warmer temperatures and an early spring on the horizon, we continue to encourage Manitobans to engage in activities outdoors as much as possible. Dr. Brent Roussin said in a news release. Removing the household-only limit to outdoor dining and licenced premises will give Manitobans an additional opportunity to gather with friends and colleagues in a safe environment.”
Changes will also be made to guidelines for churches, effective tomorrow (Mar. 12) at 12:01 a.m. These changes include:
• amending mask-use rules in churches to allow masks not to be used while household groups are seated at a service, are appropriately distanced from other groups and are not singing; and
• allowing outdoor dining on patios at restaurants and licensed premises for groups up to six people from different households.
The current public health orders are in effect until March 25th.
