The Manitoba Government is considering putting in a curfew to deal with the rising number of cases of COVID-19.
Premier Brian Pallister says they are concerns with the number of positive cases among younger people.
“A curfew that would be designed to restrict travel between key hours when gathering sizes tend to be dangerously in excess of the rules,” states Pallister. “Late night hours, obviously. Group sizes beyond five are completely unacceptable.”
Pallister says the government will consult Manitobans first before making any decision about a curfew.
He also says the new regulations call for gatherings of five or less and to reduced social contacts by half during November to keep COVID-19 numbers down.
At least ten people died in Manitoba because of COVID-19 this past weekend.
Today Winnipeg went to a code Red to combat the rising numbers of positive cases of the novel coronavirus.
