LONG LAKE 58 FIRST NATION, Ont. Chief Judy Desmoulin expects to see more members of Long Lake 58 First Nation testing positive for COVID-19.
As of late Monday, she said 42 individuals in the community neighbouring Longlac had tested positive for the virus.
That s almost twice the number reported last Friday, when the Chief and Council declared a state of emergency.
Desmoulin told TBNewwatch that 25 of the 42 cases involve a COVID-19 variant.
Long Lake 58 has 535 residents. From the test results today, I feel there s definitely going to be more cases, the chief said. For example, if there s two positives in a house, and there s five people living there, it s bound to spread.
