Emergency Alert from Chief and Council

COVID-19 OUTBREAK – Henvey Inlet First Nation

Chief McQuabbie has informed us that their community has a COVID-19 outbreak and are in lockdown.

We urge you to please stay at home and keep our community safe! 

The province-wide shutdown and stay at home order that began on April 8 due to the alarming surge in case numbers and record high hospitalizations is serious! 

“First Nations tend to be a lagging indicator, meaning that once cases begin to surge in Ontario cities, First Nations cases begin to rise a few weeks later.”

If you have been vaccinated it does not mean you are in the clear.  You can still get COVID-19 and or pass it on. 

This is too close to home PLEASE abide by the stay-at-home rules. 

Only leave home for essential purposes:  food, health care, exercise, or work.   

Protect your family, friends, community, and help keep our Sister First Nation safe!

We Can All Do Our Part In Preventing The Spread Of COVID-19

Spring has sprung; the weather is getting nicer and while it’s important to get outside and enjoy the fresh air, we all need to continue to keep ourselves and the community safe from COVID-19.

Even after we’ve been vaccinated, we still need to follow public health recommendations.

COVID-19 Vaccinations Underway!

As of March 23, 2021, Indigenous Services Canada is aware of:
610 communities with vaccinations underway (for either priority groups or all adults) in:
First Nations and Inuit communities in provinces
communities in territories
226,790 doses have been administered.

Vaccine Misinformation
We understand that some inaccurate information has been circulating to certain Indigenous communities about the vaccine that includes false and distorted information about potential side effects. The spread of misinformation can have real consequences and can affect people’s behaviours and decision-making.
It is important to obtain information from trusted sources. These sources include federal, provincial, and territorial health authorities, community health centres, nursing stations, or local healthcare providers. Please consider the source of information before spreading or sharing articles or facts. Vaccination is a choice. Vaccines used in Canada must be approved by Health Canada and the COVID-19 vaccine is held to the same safety standards as other vaccines to make sure it is safe and effective.

COVID-19 Variants of Concerns
As Variants of Concern (VOCs) continue to spread in Ontario, it remains vital to continue following public health measures to prevent their spread. Because VOCs spread the same way as the “original” virus, the same actions can be effective. These include avoiding close contact with anyone outside of your household, wearing a good fitting 3-ply mask in indoor public spaces, maintaining physical distancing, and frequent handwashing with soap and water or alcohol-based hand rubs.
Anyone with even a very mild symptom of COVID-19 should stay away from others and get tested. We know from what we have learned that often people have such a mild symptom that they think it can’t be due to COVID-19! By the time they get tested, they have exposed other people.
Even after being vaccinated, people should continue to practice public health measures. Until enough people are vaccinated, the virus will continue to circulate and can cause severe illness.
