The Province of Manitoba is eliminating the essential items list after seeing people travel from Northern Manitoba to Winnipeg to shop.
In an effort to reduce intraprovincial travel, the orders will be modified to eliminate the essential items list for northern Manitoba communities. This will allow all stores in the north to open for the sale of products provided physical distancing is maintained and occupancy limits of 25 per cent only or a maximum of 250 people, whichever is lower. This will go into effect tonight at 11:59 p.m. Other orders remain in effect, including hair salons being closed.
