The Manitoba government has made the decision to extend the province-wide state of emergency to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
Effective 4 p.m. on Sunday, May 17, the state of emergency will be extended for a period of 30 days.
A state of emergency endows the government with powers to take quick action to limit the spread of the virus.
The state of emergency was initially declared by public health officials on March 20th, and extended again on April 20th.
