Movie theatres excited to welcome Manitobans back, as long as they’re vaccinated
COVID-19 vaccine.The province announced Wednesday that fully vaccinated Manitobans will be allowed to return to movie theatres, as well as museums and casinos under the province’s latest COVID-19 public health orders.Theatres will be allowed to open at 50 per cent capacity, which is a step in the right direction, according to the president of Landmark Cinemas, although he told 680 CJOB he has some concerns about the nuances of the regulations.Bill Walker said while the company is excited to reopen its theatres, the fully-vaccinated ruling means theatres in communities with low vaccination rates likely won’t be able to open at all.“You have to realize in Winkler, for example, it’s a 20 per cent vaccination rate,” said Walker.
