Manitoba to Lift Mask Mandates Effective March 15th

Manitoba is lifting the requirement to wear facial masks in most public places on March 15th.

 

Masks will be required at healthcare facilities for all including visitors.

Masking, physical distancing requirements and cohorts will also no longer be required in schools starting March 15th.

The province is also lifting mandatory isolation for individuals who have tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday.

Isolation for COVID-19 is still advised in the following situations:

  • people with symptoms should stay home and isolate for five days after symptoms start until they have no fever and other symptoms have improved over the past 24 hours;
  • individuals who have tested positive but do not develop symptoms should isolate for five days from the date of the test;
  • individuals should wear a well-fitting, well-made mask if they must have contact with other people while ill or when their isolation is finished for 10 days after the onset of symptoms or test date if asymptomatic; and
  • people who have symptoms or test positive should avoid non-essential visits with higher-risk people or at higher-risk settings for 10 days after the onset of their symptoms or test date if asymptomatic.

According to the news release, Manitoba will manage COVID-19 similar to how other communicable diseases are managed.
