Manitoba hospitals and health centres will be restoring visitor access and easing restrictions.
Visitors will be limited to one at a time, with exception to: a second visitor under the age of 14 accompanied by an adult, a patient in labour and delivery, pediatrics, and end-of-life care.
CancerCare patients who require assistance to access ongoing treatment may be allowed a support person on a case-by-case basis.
Most patients will be eligible for a single designated support person who can visit daily.
Visits to COVID-19 suspects or prospective patients are restricted.
For more information on restrictions and exceptions can be found here.
Health Minister Cameron Friesen made the announcement today, saying “connecting with family members, loved ones, and support systems are an important part of the healing process for someone in the hospital.”
Facilities can begin relaxing restrictions as early as June 5, with all sites expected to welcome designated visitors by the week of June 8.
