Universities and colleges across the province are preparing in anticipation of potential closures.

In a statement yesterday, the University of Manitoba says they plan to keep the school open but are limiting levels of on-campus activity in order to mitigate Covid-19 transmission.

University sponsored events of 50 people or more will be cancelled or postponed and organizers of smaller events will be required to consider alternate ways of doing those events that need to proceed.

At the University of Winnipeg, classes will continue, but a few events have been postponed or cancelled.

Meanwhile, Red River College will also remain open for classes, but all college events and large gatherings have been cancelled.

They have also suspended all international and domestic travel outside of Manitoba.

School divisions within the city of Winnipeg are also working on Covid-19 plans.

The St. James Assiniboia School Division sent out a statement Thursday cancelling all Parent/Teacher /Student Conferences.

The division has also cancelled all events other than teaching and learning, from March 13 to March 31.
