Many changes are coming to Manitoba's public health orders tomorrow.
Chief provincial public health office, Dr. Brent Roussin and Chuck Davidson, president and CEO of the Manitoba Chambers of Commerce went over some of the things taking effect tomorrow and next week, in a news conference this afternoon.
Starting tomorrow, Manitobans need to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 to attend things like indoor and outdoor ticketed sporting events and concerts, indoor theatre, dance and symphony events, restaurants.
In order to attend these businesses or events, Manitobans will have to show their vaccine card or QR code.
Children under the age of 11, who are not eligible for vaccination, can attend these events and businesses with a fully immunized adult.
Chuck Davidson says these new health orders are an effort to avert the need for stricter restrictions in the future.
"The Manitoba Chamber of Commerce supports the provincial public health team in the implementation of these measures and the expansion of the vaccine passport."
Roussin says that on Tuesday, September 7th, outdoor gatherings will be limited to 500, down from the current 1,500.
"The summer fairs and festivals previously approved by Public Health are not impacted by this change."
Roussin says that weddings will have to follow the same rules as restaurants.
"So guests will have to show proof of vaccination, if a wedding party takes place at an unlicensed venue and has applied for a license, proof of vaccination will still apply. There will be a grace period on this until September 7th so people can adjust their plan."
Also on the 7th, museums and galleries will be required to ask for proof of vaccination for indoor areas.
