To this date, Peguis First Nation hasn’t had a single case of COVID-19.
They’re looking to keep it that way by re-introducing COVID restrictions.
The Peguis Pandemic Planning Team says anyone travelling to and from hotspots will have to self-isolate and self-monitor for 14 days. Those hot spots are Brandon and Steinbach.
The team also announced those travelling out of province must self-isolate and self-monitor for 14 days, face masks are mandatory when in all Peguis businesses including the Peguis Mall, and it’s mandatory that employees stay home when feeling symptomatic or sick, a COVID-19 nasal swab test is required prior to returning to work.
The Peguis Pandemic Planning Team would also like to remind members to:
– Stock up on medications
– Refrain from posting non-validated COVID-19 information online. These posts can cause panic and confusion.
– Self-Isolate when: Experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 (fever, cough, etc.), travelled out of Province, or been in contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19
– Social Distance
– Wash your hands frequently for 20 seconds or more
– Use hand sanitizer
– Be prepared when travelling outside of the community.
– Make sure to have enough face masks and hand sanitizer for everyone in the vehicle.
