Health officials are reminding Manitobans to follow public health orders this long weekend.
The current rules on gatherings allow Manitobans to designate one household or two designated people to visit at their home, and vice-versa. Outdoor gatherings at a private residence are limited to 10 people in addition to the people that live there, while outdoor gatherings in public can have up to 25 people.
Manitoba's chief public health officer Dr. Brent Roussin says it's a crucial time to stick to the public health orders.
“I know this is the time many of us want to celebrate as per the usual manner, but we can see with the growing concern, seeing what’s happening around us we just can’t to that at this point. We saw where that got us over Thanksgiving and we can’t be in that place again as we continue to roll out our vaccines.”
Health officials have said more restrictions could be relaxed after Easter, depending on how case numbers look after the holiday.
The current health orders due for an update Friday, April 16th.
On Thursday the province extended Manitoba’s state of emergency for another 30 days.
