Dr Brent Roussin, Manitoba’s chief provincial health officer reminds people to not travel to cottages or campgrounds if they feel ill. If you have any symptoms of COVID-19 stay home, said Roussin.
Travel from southern Manitoba to any area north of the 53rd parallel is not permitted. This includes going to cottages or campgrounds.
Officials are also advising Manitobans to remain in or close to their home communities and to limit travel to essential trips only.
Testing criteria now includes all symptomatic Manitobans. Anyone showing flu or cold-like symptoms can go to any of the testing sites in the province without an appointment.
Community testing sites will remain open on Saturday and Sunday at all locations but only testing sites at Sargent Tommy Prince Place, Bison Drive drive-thru, Selkirk and Winkler will be open on Victoria Day.
