Premier Brian Pallister says Manitobans have done well so far following COVID-19 guidelines.  He says they are launching a public awareness campaign this week so people get the message to keep at it so they can continue restarting the economy. He explains the successes we have had in terms of economic restart is entirely due to our willingness to follow the fundamentals that our public health officials have repeated ad infinitum to us and we need to follow those fundamentals because health security is necessary for economic recovery.  He adds these two things are intertwined, they are not separate from one another.

Pallister also announced they are extending the GAP Protection program application deadline to the end of October.  Businesses that are ineligible for federal support can apply for an immediate six thousand dollars under this program.
