The annual open house and holiday show at the Manitoba Legislature is moving online this year, to keep the tradition alive while following pandemic public health orders. For 99 years, we ve welcomed Manitobans into our beautiful legislature, said Minister of Sport, Culture and Heritage Cathy Cox.
Six of the deaths announced Friday are connected to outbreaks. In addition to the death at the Morris General Hospital, there were deaths connected to the Kin Place care home in the Interlake-Eastern region, the Gilbert Plains personal care home, Salem Home in Winkler, the Charleswood Care Centre and the Convalescent Home of Winnipeg.
No adverse reactions to vaccine
Friday s briefing happened hours after the provincial government announced it is preparing to receive a second batch of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, opening up appointments for 900 additional health-care workers starting next week.
The first 900 Manitobans to be vaccinated, all health workers, started getting shots on Wednesday of this week. At the 12:30 p.m. briefing, Atwal said nearly 600 of those workers had received the vaccine, with the rest expected to receive it by the end of the day.
