Manitoba is not restricting social gatherings to a single household when red restrictions take effect on Thursday, contrary to statements made by the chief provincial public health officer. Earlier this week, Chief Provincial Public Health Officer Dr. Brent Roussin said new restrictions would include no gatherings outside the household. "The following restrictions will come into effect on Thursday for all of Manitoba: There'll be no social gatherings permitted. Social contact is reduced to members of your household," Roussin said during a press briefing on Tuesday morning. "Social gatherings are not permitted."
