Provincial Public Health officials have advised us of a reported exposure of a positive case of COVID-19 The Pas/OCN/R.M. of Kelsey District of the Northern Health Region. The Public Health nurses and staff are already conducting extensive contact tracing and monitoring.

The R.M. of Kelsey is working closely with the Northern Health Region and appropriate community partners to ensure we are all working to contain this event.  The Reeve and Council would like to remind residents to continue to practice the fundamentals to keep COVID-19 at bay in the North –– stay home when you are sick, wash your hands frequently or use alcohol-based hand sanitizer, cover your cough or sneeze, and maintain physical (social) distance. We will post updates as appropriate. Visit www.manitoba.ca/covid19 for accurate information about COVID19 in Manitoba.

The Rural Municipality of Kelsey, Reeve and Council want to encourage all public places within our municipality to put signs in their locations for staff and patrons to wear a mask when entering at all times.  This practice will help reduce the risk of spreading Covid-19.   Many locations are already doing this and we thank you for being proactive with your response to reducing the risk.
