The community lockdown on Pine Creek First Nation has been lifted by Chief and Council.
The lockdown was first introduced on Pine Creek First Nation on Thursday, Jan. 21 in response to a self-confirmed case in the community. A second case in the community was announced a day later.
A letter sent by Pine Creek leadership on Monday, Feb. 8 credits "the stability of COVID-19 cases in the community” as the reason for lifting the lockdown measures.
Chief and Council are asking community members to continue adhering to the fundamentals to limit the spread of the virus — by wearing masks in indoor public places, social distancing, limiting social contacts, washing hands, and staying home if not feeling well.
