The province is bringing back travel restrictions to Northern Manitoba due to the increasing number of cases in the south.

 

The travel restrictions will take effect this Thursday.

 

In addition to these restrictions, all Manitobans are asked to respect any restrictions that First Nation communities have in place.

 

MKO Grand Chief Garrison Settee commended Manitoba’s Chief Public Health Officer Doctor Brent Roussin for working closely with northern First Nations to protect citizens from COVID-19.

 

Settee goes on to thank Roussin and the province for listening to First Nations Leadership and putting these measures in place.

 

The orders prohibiting travel to northern Manitoba will have exceptions, and MKO says it will share more information about the details of the order once they become available.
