CURRENT COVID INFORMATION

Manitoba Health reminds Manitobans that public health orders requiring mask wearing in public places end at 12:01 a.m. on Tuesday, March 15. However, masks will continue to be required for all individuals attending a health-care facility, including visitors. Throughout the province, individuals may continue to choose to wear masks in various settings based on their preference, personal risk or other reasons.

Public health continues to recommend people isolate in the following situations:

*people with symptoms should stay home and isolate for five days after symptoms start until they have no fever and other symptoms have improved over the past 24 hours;

*individuals who have tested positive but do not develop symptoms should isolate for five days from the date of the test;

*individuals should wear a well-fitting, well-made mask if they must have contact with other people while ill or when their isolation is finished for 10 days after the onset of symptoms or test date if asymptomatic; and

*people who have symptoms or test positive should avoid non-essential visits with higher-risk people or at higher-risk settings for 10 days after the onset of their symptoms or test date if asymptomatic.
