Masks will be now mandatory for all customers attending a Manitoba Public Insurance location across the province, effective Wednesday, September 9.
MPI says the decision to implement the new health protocol is protect the health and safety of staff and customers.
Customers will be required to bring and wear a face mask when attending any MPI location, including all service centres, claim centres, and MPI’s Physical Damage Centre.
The crown corporation notes, signs will be posted at all entrances to inform customers of this requirement. In the interests of protecting the health and safety of employees and other customers, any customer who refuses to wear a mask will be asked to leave. MPI also asks that only one family member per household to enter, unless otherwise required for business.
This new mask requirement does not replace the physical distancing guidelines that are already in place. Per public health direction, a distance of two meters (six feet) should be kept between people whenever possible. Customer-facing MPI employees interacting with the public will also be required to wear a mask.
