An employee at the Manitoba Law Courts has tested positive for the novel coronavirus, prompting officials to make face masks mandatory starting Tuesday.
A spokesperson for Manitoba Justice confirmed the positive test. The employee primarily works in non-public areas and does not have interaction with the public.
The Law Courts complex undertook “extra deep cleaning” measures over the weekend. This is in addition to measures already in place, including daily cleaning, making sanitizer available throughout the complex, staff screening for travel and symptoms, and reminding staff to follow public health fundamentals such as staying home when sick, washing, or sanitizing hands frequently, following proper cough etiquette and practicing physical distancing.
Face masks will now be required in all public areas and in all court appearances at the building.
