Bingo halls, VLT lounges reopening as part of Phase Three in Manitoba

WINNIPEG — The Province of Manitoba announced that as part of the third phase of its economic reopening, which begins on June 21, indoor recreation centres will be allowed to resume operations.

This means residents will be able to visit non-smoking sites with VLT lounges, bingo halls, billiard rooms, and indoor amusement centres, though they must adhere to specific guidelines.

According to Manitoba’s Phase Three Plan, all activities at recreation centres must allow people to maintain a distance of at least two metres from one another, except for brief interactions. The businesses will have to limit occupancy to 50 per cent of regular business levels and limit any congregations of people.
