Dr. Brent Roussin has announced that additional public health orders are being implemented for unvaccinated Manitobans.
He says gathering sizes will be reduced when unvaccinated people are present.
“This includes limiting households to guests from one other household for private indoor gatherings when an unvaccinated person who’s eligible (For the vaccine) is present on that property. This even applies if the unvaccinated person lives at that location.”
When it comes to outdoor gatherings on private property, gathering sizes will be limited to 10 when any unvaccinated people who are eligible for the vaccine are present.
Indoor public gatherings are being reduced to 25 people or 25 percent capacity, whichever is lower when any unvaccinated people who are eligible for the vaccine are present.
Outdoor public gatherings are being reduced to 50 people, regardless of immunization status.

Dauphin Fire Department responded to three incidents Thursday.
On Thursday afternoon, the department was dispatched to a report of a field fire, about 1.5 miles north of Dauphin Beach.
When crews arrived they found that the fire from Tuesday, near the Vermillion River along Stoney Point Road, had continued to carry on through reeds and dry grass.
This was over two miles south of the original fire.
Firefighters used the back burn method to remove the fuel to stop the spread.
During this incident, the department was dispatched to a residence in the northeast area of Dauphin, for a carbon monoxide alarm.
Another crew from the station responded.
Firefighters returned from the Stoney Point Road fire just after 10:00 p.m., when another call was received for a collision east of the city.

Dauphinites have an opportunity to watch drive-in movies for free this weekend.
The RM of Dauphin is hosting free drive-in movies this Saturday at the Selo site, south of the city.
The gates, and concessions open at 1:00 p.m.
The first movie, The Boss Baby: Family Business, begins at 2:00 p.m.
Concessions reopen at 5:00 p.m., with the next movie, Cruella at 6:00 p.m.
The last movie of the night, F9: the Fast Saga is at 9:00 p.m.
Nicole Chychota, CAO of the RM of Dauphin says they had support to put on this event.
“We were approached by a company called EventPro that was successful in securing money from the province of Manitoba to support the Place Brand communities, which Dauphin is one of, to put on drive-in movies for their communities.”
Nicole is encouraging people who attend to bring non-perishable food items to donate to the Dauphin Food Bank.
“The Travel Manitoba money really just set the stage of what we were doing, and from there it was up to us to decide what we wanted to do, and how big we wanted to make it. We were fortunate enough to get some great sponsors on board, Dauphin Co-op and Fusion Credit Union were two of them, and this allowed us to make it big enough that we felt it would be a good opportunity for us to encourage people to bring items for the food bank.”
Nicole says they will be able to accommodate 500 people or around 200 cars for each movie.
Attendees will need to wear masks inside of Selo Hall, but proof of vaccination isn’t required.

The Manitoba Métis Federation announced yesterday that they have withdrawn from the Métis National Council.
A lot went into this decision, but President of the MMF David Chartrand says this choice is about protecting the Métis identity,
"It's been a concern for the Métis citizens of Manitoba for some time now. When you look at the concept of what was happening to Ontario, where they were not abiding with the definition and starting to actually increase their numbers by bringing in new people of mixed blood ancestry, which are not our people. If you look at the census of 2006, the Métis population in Ontario grew by 252 percent, and in 2016 it grew by another 51 percent. So you look at it, Ontario is bringing in people by the thousands and thousands that are not our people." Chartrand continued, "When you look at what we have developed as a people, as a nation, it's protecting our culture and identity. That was the reason the formation of the MNC was established in 1983, so we could make sure we could protect Métis history, culture and the identity of our homeland, and now our homeland is all the way to Quebec, according to Ontario. Those are not our people; there's no connection historically, in any story of culture connection, none exists with them."
The president of the MMF noted this decision stemmed from frustration,
"Nobody wanted to be Métis before, but now we are making such great strides, and the wind sails are strong behind us; everybody now wants a piece of what we have been able to achieve. But we suffered two hundred and something years to get here, and now they are trying to steal our identity, steal our culture and steal our future, and we are not going to let that happen."
Chartrand says that he believes the reason why so many people want to claim Métis citizenship is solely for financial benefit.
He carried on about his displeasure with the situation,
"People want to understand what the difference is between them and us. It's all Red River, it all comes from here, this is where our nation was formed, and when you look at Eastern Canada, Ottawa, or Killarney, or outside of Toronto in Simcoe, all those places they are trying to bring in, there is not one connection."
Moving forward, President Chartrand says the MMF has a plan for international, national and provincial affairs, adding that the MMF has the intelligence to continue to thrive after leaving the MNC.
