A Winnipeg small business owner says a decline in foot traffic and public safety in Osborne Village is driving her local beauty supply chain out of the area.
WINNIPEG Come Saturday, Manitoba will no longer be required to wear a mask in an indoor public setting, which has some concerned about the message being sent. The change is part of the province s updated health orders, changed to reflect rising vaccination rates, with the mask mandate changing to a recommendation. Public health will no longer require mask use under the public health orders, Chief Provincial Public Health Officer Dr. Brent Roussin said Tuesday. Mask use will still be recommended for Manitobans who are not fully vaccinated and children under the age of twelve, who are not currently eligible for vaccination. Masks will also continue to be required during entry and while in health-care facilities, including hospitals and personal care homes, the province said. Medical masks will be provided by the facility.
