It’s of great concern to me, Miller said Tuesday in an interview with The Canadian Press.
Prairie provinces, where there are high populations of Indigenous people, are moving away from most of their COVID-19 restrictions.
Manitoba announced earlier this week it would end its mask mandate and remove many restrictions on businesses and group sizes this Saturday.
Saskatchewan has also dropped most restrictions put in place to stop the spread of the pandemic, while Alberta is facing criticism from health-care experts after lifting all of its public health orders.
Miller said a proper health strategy involves vaccines, awareness and continued public health measures.
