Manitoba Public Insurance is pumping the breaks on some of their Programs.

They're going to be cancelling one major service they offer.

Brian Smiley from Manitoba Public Insurance explains what they're doing.

"In response to Covid-19 being declared a pandemic, Manitoba Public Insurance has launched a number of proactive initiatives, one of them being is we are going to be cancelling all of our road tests effective immediately."

Customers are in the process of being contacted and will have the opportunity to rebook their appointments when the time comes.

He says they have a better safe than sorry position the issue.

"If customers are feeling unwell, they are encouraged to visit MPI online. They can make payments there, and they can cancel their appointments. Again, this is all designed for the safety of everybody concerned, not only our front line staff but our customers as well."
