For nearly two months, Manitobans have been able to buy the pans necessary to make their meals but not the bowls to eat from.
The public-health order that required all businesses in the province to restrict in-person sales of non-essential items has remained in place since Nov. 21, but has gone through several amendments in the weeks since. Prepaid credit cards, gift cards and newspapers were added to the essential list almost immediately after the health order was issued, and cosmetics were added Dec. 12.
With current orders set to expire Saturday, and case counts shrinking in much of the province, a potential relaxation of restrictions is likely on the horizon.
