On Thursday, Dr. Brent Roussin, Manitoba's chief provincial public health officer, said new health orders will come into effect on Friday, requiring Manitobans to self-isolate for 14 days if they have tested positive for COVID-19 or have been exposed to COVID-19 by a close contact. A close contact, Roussin said, is defined as someone within two metres for longer than 15 minutes of a confirmed case.
He said the order was developed as a result of "isolated situations" where health officials determined individuals were not self-isolating, and specifically said one of the instances occurred in the Brandon cluster. There are exceptions for in-person appointments with health-care providers, but if the individual leaves their home, they must wear a mask, maintain physical distancing, and minimize the time away from their self-isolation locations.
Oh that will scare them!
They can try.
