Despite significant increases in cases of COVID-19 in the province, no new public health restrictions were announced at Friday’s press conference.
Deputy chief provincial public health officer Dr. Jazz Atwal wants Manitobans to limit their interactions beyond public health restrictions in an effort to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus rather than introduce more restrictions. Lockdowns have negative impacts, he said. Keeping everything open and generating a lot of cases has negative impacts, as well. So we need to find that balance, and we’re reviewing data and information on an ongoing basis to strike that right balance.
