Despite the relaxing of some protocols in this pandemic, there are still tight restrictions that must be followed suit. However, two restaurants in Winnipeg got fined by the government for not complying.

Arabesque Hookah Café and Lounge on Corydon Avenue and Pony Corral on Pembina Highway have been each fined $2,542. According to the Manitoba government, both restaurants failed to comply with the special measures prescribed in the order issued by the Chief Public Health Officer.

Both restaurants got their tickets on Wednesday but were not asked to close down.

A total of eight Manitoba businesses have been fined for the same reasons as of late. This include California Nails, Daughter on Call, Executive Bath, Joey’s Only Seafood Restaurant, JT’s Club, Ruby Nail Bar, Sung’s Resutrant, and Thi Bui.
