manitoba Salons, gyms among many businesses closing Sunday for Manitoba's 3-week lockdown Restaurants, bars must shut down in-person dining under new public health orders Restaurants, bars and patios in Manitoba will once again have to close to in-person dining as of Sunday, while many other businesses will have to shut down entirely for three weeks, as the province works to slow its rising third wave of COVID-19. "We've done this before and I know that Manitobans can do it again. This time, we do see that hope. We do see a summer where we have high vaccine uptake and low COVID numbers," Chief Provincial Public Health Officer Dr. Brent Roussin said at a Friday evening news conference. Gyms, museums and day camps in Manitoba are among those that will have to shut down under the new health orders, which come into effect as of 12:01 a.m. Sunday. So will fitness centres, galleries and libraries. Casinos will remain closed, and VLTs will not be allowed to operate. Indoor religious, cultural and community gatherings will also no longer be allowed starting Sunday. Outdoor gatherings in public areas involving people from more than one household will be limited to a maximum of five people, down from the current limit of 10. Self-help gatherings will be allowed to continue, but are also limited to 10 participants. Restaurants and bars can remain open, but only takeout and delivery service will be allowed. Visits to private residences — whether indoors or outdoors — remain prohibited, per existing public health orders. ns N.S. reports 227 new COVID-19 cases, but province warns at least 200 more cases not in tally As the province reports one new death from COVID-19 and 227 new cases — an all-time high — Premier Iain Rankin announced Friday that schools will remain closed for at least the rest of the month and new border restrictions will come into effect at 8 a.m. on Monday. The person who died was a woman in her 70s who lived in the central health zone. She died at home. In addition to the 227 new cases, Rankin said there are more than 200 other cases that have been identified but have not been fully processed by Public Health, and so have not been included in daily tallies. Rankin urged Nova Scotians to abide by public health restrictions to stem rising case counts. "We need you to stop — stop looking for loopholes, stop sneaking to another community to shop or visit your friends, stop trying to find an excuse to go to your cottage, stop shopping just for fun. Stop acting as if the third wave is the same as the first or the second, because it isn't. It's more aggressive, more deadly and we're all at increased risk."
