Self-isolation orders are now in effect in Manitoba, requiring those entering into the province to quarantine for 14 days unless given an exemption.
Before the rules went into effect on 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, the province released the full text of them and outlined exactly who is exempt.
All exemptions are conditional on the persons named not showing any symptoms of COVID-19.
Those who are providing essential services like health-care providers, police officers, emergency services personnel, corrections officers, members of the military, social service workers, elected officials and their staff are all exempt.
One case was also announced in the Nelson House/Nisicihawayasihk health district. Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation (NCN) Chief Marcel Moody said in a Facebook update that the case was the second from the district involving someone actually living on-reserve and that a stay-at-home order is in effect with an 11 p.m to 7 a.m. curfew. “The restrictions we have put in place have kept our community safe so far,” Moody wrote. “The number of cases has been increasing all around us. Our friends and relatives in other communities have been hard hit by COVID-19.” Across the province, 133 new cases of COVID-19 were reported on Thursday, though one previous case was removed due to a data correction, leaving the net increase in cases at 132. Winnipeg had the next highest regional total behind the north with 29 new cases.
