The Manitoba government has asked junior Crown attorneys, justice support staff and articling students to agree to be redeployed to conduct contact tracing, CBC News has learned. One source told CBC the redeployment will focus on contact tracing investigations and the secondment will last until at least January. Chagla applauded the government for dedicating more resources to contact tracing but said they can't be short term deployments. Dr. Zain Chagla said many countries that have had less restrictions than Canada have done a better job contact tracing. The province has said in recent days it is ramping up its contact tracing ability.
