The province is planning to give Manitobans more freedom to visit loved ones in personal care homes.
Health Minister Cameron Friesen announced the changes on Monday, which will allow a limited number of visitors to go inside nursing homes after they are screened. Visitors will be required to wear a mask.
The new rules are set to take effect Tuesday, June 23.
The rules in Manitoba had previously only allowed limited outdoor visits.
The Health Minister remarked that relaxing visitor policies will help support the physical and mental health of those living care homes — and that virtual and window-visits can only do so much.
