Delaware Nation at Moraviantown is closing off its community in an effort to protect itself from the spread of COVID-19.
Council decided on Tuesday that only residents and emergency services will be allowed to enter the community, with residents only allowed to leave for essential reasons. About 550 people live in Moraviantown, located in Chatham-Kent, Ont.
“We are currently dealing with the COVID-19 epidemic by exercising our governing authority to maintain the health and the wellness of our community,” said Delaware Nation Chief Denise Stonefish.
She explained that the community will be setting up two access points, and the remaining roads leading into the community will be blocked off with concrete barriers.
