Quote from Steve on November 4, 2020, 8:44 amPremier Brian Pallister is calling on Manitobans to volunteer at COVID-19 test sites as the province continues to see a significant spike in numbers of the virus.
At a Tuesday morning press conference Brian Pallister said volunteers are needed to help out at testing sites and to perform screening services at health facilities.
“Most of these tasks that we need here are not highly-skilled, permanent civil service needs — they’re surge needs,” Pallister said when asked why the province isn’t looking at hiring to fill the positions instead.
