Communities such as Gillam and The Pas are facing their own challenges as they continue to see Level Red restrictions.
Dozens of communities will remain under the strict COVID-19 restrictions in Northern Manitoba. The rest of the province will be easing many restrictions, including removing the essential goods list, on Saturday.
