E f fect ively i m med iately, Manitoba is shutting down. On Tuesday, Nov. 10, premier Brian Pallister and Dr. Brent Roussin, Manitoba’s chief provincial public health officer, announced that as of 12:01 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 12, the province will move to the Critical level (red) on the #RestartMB Pandemic Response System. These tougher new restrictions are in response to the ongoing increase in daily COVID-19 cases in the province.
“We are at a critical point in our fight against COVID-19, and we must do everything we can to protect our most vulnerable Manitobans and ensure our health-care system is there for Manitobans, when they need it,” said Pallister. “This is a team effort, and we all have a role to play in protecting ourselves, our loved ones and our community. By taking these measures seriously, we are going to save lives.” Non- essent ia l ret a i l stores, gyms, movie theatres, salons and churches will close. All recreational

facilities and sports activities will be shut down, sa id Dr. Roussin, but schools and child-care centres will remain open. Non-essential travel is also being discouraged. “We are truly at a crossroads in our fight against this pandemic,” Roussin said. “We need to turn these [COVID-19] numbers around and we need to turn them around now.” The widespread closures may be in effect for up to four weeks, or two incubation periods of the virus, Roussin said.
