Workplace COVID-19 Reporting Process
Current Manitoba public health orders require businesses to report cases of COVID-19 in their workplace to the chief provincial public health officer.
Operators of a business or facility are required to notify public health officials if two or more people who work for the organization have COVID-19 and work at the same location. This notification process will support public health with an early notification of potential workplace clusters. Public health officials will work with workplaces to assess potential risk and advise if any additional measures are required.
