Self-Isolation will no longer be necessary for fully vaccinated Manitobans, after traveling to other provinces and returning to Manitoba.
Premier Brian Pallister made the announcement today saying that secure immunization cards will be available to people two weeks after they’ve received both doses of a COVID-19 vaccine.
“In the interim, until all public health restrictions are lifted, Manitobans will get certain benefits with this card. We hope this is a temporary measure as we get to the point where everyone is vaccinated, but in the interim period this is an important thing that will benefit you.”
To be eligible to receive an immunization card, Manitobans must have a Manitoba health card, have received two doses of a vaccine, and wait 14 days after getting the second dose of vaccine, so it can take full effect.
Pallister adds that Manitoba health-care facilities, including hospitals and personal care homes, will permit expanded visitation if both the patient or resident, and visitor are fully vaccinated. This benefit is expected to be extended to health-care facility visitation in the coming week.
Two weeks after receiving a second dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, Manitobans can apply for the card online.
