Although Manitoba reversed a decision to close Winnipeg-area beverage rooms for two weeks as part of tougher new pandemic restrictions, several business owners say that due to their licensing, they're being unfairly singled out. This week, many business owners breathed a sigh of relief knowing their restaurants, lounges and taverns could stay open. The owner says they've gone above and beyond with public health measures, and feel the choice to close it down wasn't done fairly. Now, business owners like Salchert and Morrison say they want a more sensible policy from the government. "But if it was being fairly applied, equally applied, to everybody [it] would be a little easier to swallow."
