On Monday, Manitoba's Chief Public Health Officer says the province is very likely in the early stages of a fourth wave as he looks at cases rising in Southern Manitoba.

Manitoba's Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Brent Roussin is making a slight change to the health orders. Self-isolation for close contacts is reduced from 14 days to 10 days, with self-monitoring for the remaining four days.

"The risk of becoming a case is much earlier in that incubation period so that if someone hasn't become a case within ten days it is much less likely that they will become a case after," Roussin says in the Monday media briefing.

He says this aligns Manitoba with what other province's have been requiring.
