NOVEL CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) BULLETIN #10

To date, three presumptive positive cases of COVID-19 have been identified in Manitoba. In addition, Manitoba public health officials are recommending that Manitobans should consider taking additional social distancing measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Social distancing measures include cancelling or postponing any large-scale events with more than 250 attendees. This measure helps reduce prolonged (more than 10 minutes), close (less than two metres) contact between other individuals in public.”
