As a result, Federal, Provincial, and local governments and Federal and Provincial Health Agencies have placed restrictions on the congregation of large groups of people unless physical distancing measures can be effectively maintained. One Family Fitness Centre (“OFFC”) has initiated policies and procedures for both staff and members to observe and obey, as specifically mandated by Public Health Authorities and the Government of Manitoba, as preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, OFFC cannot guarantee that infection with COVID-19 may not occur within its premises, despite the safety procedures implemented at its Clubs.
