Manitoba reducing isolation requirements for people vaccinated against COVID-19 in the new year

Manitoba reducing isolation requirements for people vaccinated against COVID-19 in the new year

The Manitoba government is changing the self-isolation requirements for people who have tested positive for COVID-19, including cutting the time in half for fully vaccinated Manitobans not showing symptoms.

The Manitoba government is changing the self-isolation requirements for people who have tested positive for COVID-19, including cutting the time in half for fully vaccinated Manitobans not showing symptoms.

Starting on Jan. 1, new requirements will be in place, "to adapt to the prevalence of rapid antigen tests and to help address the surge in COVID-19 cases caused by the Omicron variant," according to a news release sent late Friday afternoon.

The changes include:

"We have looked at data from Manitoba and other jurisdictions and feel these changes will balance reducing the spread of COVID-19 while ensuring critical services can continue to operate," said Dr. Brent Roussin, the chief provincial public health officer, in a news release.

Health officials are advising people who leave self-isolation to avoid any non-essential visits to high-risk areas.

Officials added that close contacts who are not exempt from self-isolating will be required to isolate for 10 days and COVID-positive people will still be required to provide information about where they have been in the last 10 days for contact tracing.

"I ask all Manitobans to get immunized as soon as possible, including a third dose when eligible to reduce the number of close contacts they have, and to stay home as much as possible to reduce the risk of severe illness and reduce the spread of COVID-19."
