Manitoba is dropping its public health ordering requiring those who test positive with COVID-19 to self-isolate.
The order will change to a recommendation on March 15th, the same day mask mandates will come to an end.
Dr. Jazz Atwal, the deputy chief public health officer, says the province is at a point where COVID-19 will still affect hospitalizations and generate cases, but severe outcomes are diminished.
He says Manitoba will also end investigations into positive cases. Those who test positive will still be notified. but the province will no longer trace where they may have caught or transmitted the virus.
The province removed vaccine mandates Tuesday.
