All Manitoba schools will be closed for 3 weeks effective Monday, March 23rd.
The announcement was made by Premier Brian Pallister, alongside Education Minister Kelvin Goertzen, Health Minister Cameron Friesen and chief public health officer Dr. Brent Roussin.
Education Minister Kelvin Goertzen says the decision to close schools is out of an abundance of caution to lessen the negative impact of COVID-19 on Manitoba as a whole.
Superintendent Dan Ward with the Mountain View School Division is meeting with the minister of education.
He will be contacting CKDM with his comments, shortly.
