Manitoba has announced they will be allowing child care workers with mild COVID-19 symptoms who test negative to return to work. 

The workers need to have mild symptoms and no fever without medication for 24 hours, as well as either a negative test from a provincial testing site or two negative rapid tests before returning to work. If workers start to have worse or new symptoms, they need to tell their employer and immediately self-isolate.

The decision is being criticized by people in the child care industry and Manitoba Liberal leader Dougald Lamont called it a "Desperation Move" and said before it happens, the province should do more, like providing rapid tests and N95 masks to the workers.
