Manitoba Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Brent Roussin says Manitobans have been faced with a lot of challenges over the past two years but the public health orders have now been replaced by recommendations.  He says it’s time to take steps towards healing.  He states we see businesses now, some choosing to keep the proof of vaccine other leaving that in the past, some people continue to wear masks others will give that up but for many these choices aren’t easy but we sure can make it easier on each other if we show some respect, kindness, compassion for other people’s decisions as we navigate this transition period.               

Roussin praised the public health team for their work in the past and in continuing to monitor Covid-19.
