Manitoba Adds New Restrictions For Unvaccinated, Moves to Restricted (Orange) Level Starting Oct 5th

 

Manitoba is moving to the restricted (orange) level on the Pandemic Response System and bringing in stricter restrictions for unvaccinated residents to increase COVID-19 preparedness in the province and address the fourth wave.

The changes will be effective Tuesday, Oct. 5 at 12:01 a.m.

Though the province is moving to Orange Level, schools will remain at the caution (yellow) level so that in-person learning can continue.

In addition, the province is reducing all outdoor public gathering sizes to 50 people, but all controlled events and gatherings where proof of vaccination is required will continue to be permitted.

Retail capacity will also be reduced to 50 per cent in the Southern Health-Santé Sud health region.

New Rules For Unvaccinated Manitobans:

  • Limiting private indoor gatherings for households to guests from one other household when any unvaccinated person who is eligible to be vaccinated is present on the property (even if the unvaccinated person lives at that location)
  • Limiting private outdoor gatherings for households to 10 guests when any unvaccinated person who is eligible to be vaccinated is present on the property (even if the unvaccinated person lives at that location);
  • Reducing indoor public gathering group sizes to 25 people or 25 per cent capacity, whichever is lower, for gatherings that include unvaccinated people who are eligible to be vaccinated, including weddings and funerals; and
  • Setting indoor group sizes for faith-based gatherings to 25 people or 33 per cent capacity, whichever is greater, for gatherings that include unvaccinated people who are eligible to be vaccinated.

For weddings and funerals already scheduled, the province is giving until October 12th (an additional one-week) as a grace period to minimize disruption.

While indoor faith-based gatherings for fully immunized worshippers will be open to 150 participants or 50 per cent capacity, whichever is greater, those with unvaccinated worshippers will have to follow new restrictions with 25 people or 33 per cent capacity.

There will not be any restrictions in private households, weddings, funerals and faith-based gatherings for fully immunized Manitobans and those under 12 who are not eligible for the vaccine.

As of Wednesday, 80.4 per cent of eligible Manitobans are fully vaccinated and 84.9 per cent have received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine.
