Rates of COVID-19 in Manitoba are now the highest in the country – and the Northwestern Health Unit (NWHU) is urging the public not to travel to or from Manitoba unless it is for an essential purpose.
The Health Unit also says anyone who has travelled to Manitoba or is coming into our region from Manitoba should stay home and not interact with anyone outside of their household for 14 days after entering northwestern Ontario.
Dr. Kit Young Hoon, Medical Officer of Health at the Health Unit says following this recommendation may not be possible for those travelling for essential reasons such as medical services, but urges us to try to avoid contact with anyone outside of our homes as much as possible.
