The Manitoba government has given 60 million dollars to regional health authorities for COVID-19 related costs over the first two quarters of 2020-21.
Health and Seniors Care Minister Health Stefanson made the announcement saying the funding ensures the regional health authorities can continue to serve the public to the best of their abilities.
Costs related to incremental staffing, enhanced cleaning procedures, and additional supplies and equipment are some of what’s eligible to be covered.
More funding will also be provided for the remaining two quarters of the year.
