Deh Gáh Got’ie First Nation has retracted its original community lockdown notice, but leaders are still suggestings residents abide by their recommendations.

This comes from a community notice sent to CKLB earlier today

The notice still recommends residents stay home, wear a mask and not travel for the next ten days.

The number of COVID cases in the community is three.

Correction: Previous version of the story said all of Fort Providence had been under lockdown, following the notice by Deh Gáh Got’ie First Nation. In fact, the first nation does not have that authorirty.  CKLB regrets the error.
