Health-care students and residents at the University of Manitoba are being asked to go to First Nations communities to support their health-care workforces amid an expected surge of the Omicron variant.
Melanie MacKinnon, executive director of Ongomiizwin—Health Services at the university, said in the coming weeks, First Nation communities will need help as they deal with the highly contagious Omicron variant.
She said there are 25 nursing stations serving First Nations communities, many of which are in remote locations.
