COVID-19 Response

COVID-19 is an urgent challenge to public health in municipalities across Canada. The AMM is committed to supporting member municipalities with information and resources to help keep Manitobans safe.

The AMM encourages all members to review these resources regularly. We’ll continue to update this page with additional information as it becomes available.

For the most up-to-date information on COVID-19 in Manitoba, please visit the Manitoba public health website.
