The Manitoba government has finalized the draft plan for Phase Two and will be restoring more services Monday, June 1st.
Limited access to educational facilities, where physical distancing can be maintained, will be allowed for one-on-one teaching and assessments.
The following services can resume starting June 1st:
- increasing child-care centre occupancy to up to 24 children plus staffing;

- resuming sports, arts and cultural activities for children and adults;
- lifting occupancy limits at outdoor recreation facilities and golf courses outdoors, as long as physical distancing can be maintained and allowing limited access to indoor spaces;
- allowing direct travel to northern parks, campgrounds, cabins, lodges and resorts while ensuring physical distancing;
- allowing public/private swimming pools, spas, fitness clubs, gyms and community/service centres to reopen with some limitations;
- allowing religious or other organizations to hold outdoor services or events without limitation on numbers if people stay in their vehicles;
- reopening manicurists and pedicurists, tattoo parlours, estheticians, cosmetologists, electrologists and tanning parlours at 50 percent capacity;
- allowing restaurants to reopen indoor spaces at 50 percent capacity and continue to offer patio services at that capacity level; and
- allowing bars, beverage rooms, micro-brewers and similar businesses to operate patio service at 50 percent of site capacity and to reopen indoor spaces at 50 percent capacity.
Premier Brian Pallister says “I want to thank Manitobans for their input, and as a result of these discussions and advice from public health experts. We are in a position to move forward with phase two of our plan to safely restore our services.”
