The public health order closing non-critical businesses is now in effect, and Manitoba's chief public health officer clarified on Wednesday exactly what that may mean for some of those affected establishments. Hair stylists can have staff prepare products for sale, but customers would not be allowed in the business to purchase products. Public health inspectors will approach business owners who do not comply with the order, Roussin said. "Barring that, then there are further orders and penalties under the Public Health Act that could be in place." Public health officials announced Wednesday that 24 new cases of the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19 have been identified in Manitoba, and there are early signs of community transmission.
