Public health officials are advising that potential exposure to COVID-19 may have occurred from a case that visited the Sherwood Grocery Store in Gull Lake while symptomatic on July 19, 20 and 21.

People who are considered close contacts of a COVID-19 case will be contacted by public health officials and advised to self-isolate. Others who were at these sites on those days do not need to self-isolate, but should self-monitor for symptoms of COVID-19.

If people develop symptoms, they should self-isolate and visit www.manitoba.ca/COVID19 to use the online screening tool, or call Health Links-Info Santé at 204-788-8200 or toll-free at 1-888-315-9257 for health guidance on how to seek testing.

Based on recent feedback from residents, Phase Four is not increasing indoor/outdoor gathering sizes, and officials have not removed the 14-day self-isolation protocol for travellers coming into Manitoba from Eastern Canada.

Health Minister and Morden-Winkler MLA Cameron Friesen notes officials continue to monitor the current health guidelines on a week-to-week basis.
