A security perimeter has been set up around Tootinaowaziibeeng Treaty Reserve to monitor vehicles coming in and out of the community, to help control the spread of COVID-19
Tootinaowaziibeeng leadership are asking community members to limit travel to essential purposes only during Manitoba’s Code Red — and are condoning travel only for things like employment, medical appointments, pharmacy pickup, and grocery shopping.
A community perimeter has been set up at the south, west and east entrances, and security will be monitoring vehicles leaving and entering the community of Tootinaowaziibeeng Treaty Reserve.
Anyone entering the community will have to comply with mandatory temperature testing and screening.
If a non-resident’s temperature is 38°C or above, they will be refused entry.
If a resident’s temperature is 38°C or above, they are advised to go for COVID testing and must self-isolate for 14 days or until they are symptom-free for 48 hours.
Only residents will be granted entry after 10 p.m. (except for residents who work off-reserve).
Non-band members are permitted entry into the community at this time, but must comply with the temperature testing.
