Applications for Manitoba's new plastic health cards will have to wait for the new year.

After delays from the postal strike, the latest timeline has health card applications delayed to mid-January.

In previous statements on social media, Premier Wab Kinew stated that these new health cards will feature artwork of the northern lights, a QR code for easy scanning and access, and a digital copy that can be saved on phones.

While the total cost is unclear, current estimates are $1.67 per card, similar to the COVID-19 cards.
