Provincial health authorities are announcing more changes to their visitor policies.
Effective immediately, acute care facilities in Manitoba, including acute mental health facilities, will be suspending all visitor access.
Some exceptions will be made for compassionate reasons for end of life.
Certain areas will allow one visitor, at the discretion of managers:
- Maternity
- Neonatal ICU
- Pediatrics
- Emergency Departments
- Cancer Care Programs
Otherwise, for pediatric patients, including the Child and Adolescent Treatment Centre, one parent or guardian may visit at a time.
You are reminded to avoid visiting any health care facilities if you have:
- Returned from international travel in the last 14 days
- Had close contact with someone with a confirmed COVID-19 case
- Had close contact with someone being tested for COVID-19 at this time
- Been instructed to self-isolate or self-monitor for 14 days
- Cold or flu-like symptoms (cough, runny nose, sore throat, weakness or headache).
The suspension of visitors to Personal Care Homes across the province remains in effect (with exceptions for compassionate reasons).
Remember, wash your hands often and stay informed of all the latest COVID-19 updates and recommended precautions at https://www.gov.mb.ca/covid19/index.html.
