The Province released its plan for Phase Four Tuesday which includes increasing gathering sizes to 75 indoors and 250 outdoors with reasonable social distancing. Larger group sizes could be allowed where distinct groups of 75 or 250 can be reasonably separated.

Phase Four could also include increasing visitation at personal care homes, with residents able to designate two support people able to visit the resident in their room indoors. Outdoor visits would be allowed for up to four people per resident depending on available space.

Restrictions would also be adjusted for faith-based gatherings, as well as live theatre and movie theatres with up to 50 per cent of the site's capacity, or 500 people, whichever is lower. Adequate physical distancing between households must continue.

The next phase would also lift occupancy restrictions on all retail settings and indoor recreation sites except for gyms and fitness centres which must remain at 50 per cent occupancy levels or one person per 10 square metres, whichever is lower. The eased restrictions would include allowing closer distancing at therapeutic health businesses and personal service businesses such as hair and nail salons where a non-permeable barrier is installed.

The province is also considering removing the 14-day self-isolation travel restriction for domestic travel within Canada.

"Manitoba is one of the safest places in the world to go back to work and get back up on your feet," Premier Brian Pallister says. "We must maintain our vigilance while growing our way out of this pandemic. I encourage all Manitobans to have their say in our next steps of restarting our economy."

Manitobans are encouraged to fill out the survey at https://engagemb.ca and will also have the opportunity to participate in a telephone town hall tomorrow.
