Manitoba Public Health officials announced on Sunday March 29, 2020, that eight additional cases of COVID-19 have been identified.

The total number of lab-confirmed positive and probable positive cases is now 72.

Public Health investigators are in the process of determining how the new cases were exposed.

Effective at 12:01 Monday, March 30, 2020, a number of orders under the Public Health Act come into force including:

  • Public gatherings will be limited to no more than 10 people at any indoor or outdoor place or premises.  This includes places of worship, gatherings and family events such as weddings and funerals.  This does not apply to a facility where health care or social services are provided including child-care centres and homeless shelters.  
  • Retail businesses including grocery or food stores, shopping centres, pharmacies or gas stations must ensure separation of one to two metres between patrons assembling in the business.  
  • Public transportation facilities must also ensure that people assembling at the facility are reasonably able to maintain a separation of one to two metres.

These are in addition to orders that were brought into place on March 20, 2020.
