MKO – Interim Public Health Advice: Public Health Measures in Indoor Public Settings to Support First Nations in Response to Delta and Other Highly Transmissible COVID-19 Variants of Concern

Press Release

Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) has shared interim public health advice intended for ISC-FNIHB health workers who provide services to First Nation communities. This information is to be adapted based on local context. It has been developed to reiterate the importance of being fully immunized and maintaining basic public health measures given the increased transmissibility and severity of the Delta VOC, and the existing factors that contribute to the disproportionate risk of COVID-19 for First Nations living on-reserve.
