Current orders expire at midnight on Friday, so new orders would be in effect for 12:01am Saturday. Aiming to announce those new orders on Thursday. 

Question came up at today's media briefing regarding household visits in the new orders. It won't be for just designated visitors, just that it can only be two visitors at one time. Watch for orders on Thursday for specific wording.

Of note, that is an increase of +13 cases in the 0-9 age group over these past two days. It's not clear the reason for that disproportionate of an increase in that age group. I have seen info of one school case reported this past week at grade 4/5 at J.R. Reid.  Without more information I wouldn't automatically assume school-related and would not automatically assume Brandon-related.
