Health-care workers at the vanguard of Manitoba s COVID-19 fight are set to get some extra pay.
The province announced a new allowance Thursday that will be paid for any disruption to a normal work schedule due to redeployment to a priority health-care setting, such as a personal care home or ICU. Health-care workers have been at the forefront of Manitoba s response to the pandemic, showing unrelenting dedication and commitment to patients in hospital and in the community as well as those Manitobans living in personal care homes, Health Minister Cameron Friesen said in a news release.
