Manitoba’s nurses are committed to caring.
Tell the Manitoba government to step up for nurses and patients.
Nurses are here for all of us, doing everything possible to keep Manitobans safe. In partnership with all health care workers, they’re on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic, working around the clock to stop its spread and care for those who are infected.
But they can’t do it alone. Nurses need your help to convince the Pallister government to support frontline care providers.
Many nurses do not have access to the personal protective equipment (PPE) they need. Without the right equipment, they’re being put into harm’s way.
When nurses get sick, they can’t take care of patients. And the last thing Manitoba needs now is an even greater shortage of nurses.
The situation is getting worse and Premier Pallister has promised more cuts are on the way.
Protecting health care workers protects us all. Other provinces are making progress by allowing nurses to use their clinical judgment for accessing PPE, and providing paid sick leave for ALL health care workers exposed to COVID-19.
Yet Manitoba is lagging behind. It’s time for the Pallister government to do better, and work with nurses to put patients first.
What can you do to help?
- Stay home, save lives.
- Wash your hands frequently.
- Keep at least 2 metres away from others.
- Tell Premier Pallister that protecting nurses and health care workers protects us all by joining our letter writing campaigns:
Stand with nurses and
stand up for safe patient care.
"There were five calls for emergency medical services during the period the health centre was closed."
Health centre in Leaf Rapids, Man., reopens early after closure | CBC News
A northern Manitoba health centre that was closed temporarily has reopened early thanks to a partnership between two Indigenous organizations."The Public Health Agency of Canada will be publishing detailed guidelines later this week which include a recommendation that children over the age of 10 be required to wear masks at school."
As other province mandates masks in schools, Manitoba still mulls over decision | CBC News
In the wake of new recommendations from Canada's chief public health officer and two provinces moving toward mandatory masks for the majority of students returning to school, the Manitoba government i...NO. Masks have not been safety tested on children, whom have different tolerances; and they are not effective regardless when worn by non trained people (I.e. not healthcare professionals). This is ridiculous.
So I guess Manitoba will be waiting until kids are bringing home the virus to grandparents and immuno- compromised family members, and then they will backtrack and require masks. About time this government gets with the program, instead of always playing catch- up.
There is not enough cases to mandate masks for children, but if you feel better to make your child wear a mask, do so.
Honestly all the kids should-my 4 year old is already used to wearing one in public.
I’d be homeschooling. This Gov’t is reckless.
Not sure WTF the Pallister government is waiting for. Just.Do.It.
My child will wear one
Good
