Pine Creek First Nation is closing its band office, health centre, Jordan's Principle office and daycare centre because of the increase of COVID-19 cases in the community.
On top of the closures, the community is placing checkpoints at some highway junctions. Security at those checkpoints will take note of names and vehicles passing through, and those names will be passed along to the First Nation's health officials.
Figures released Sunday night showed that the community had 15 active cases of COVID-19, including eight variant of concern cases.
40 people and 13 homes are in isolation.
The closures were implemented yesterday evening and will last for at least two weeks, and are set to be reassessed on June 4th.
