Community experiences COVID outbreak after evacuation; NITHA encouraging residents to get vaccinated

Community experiences COVID outbreak after evacuation; NITHA encouraging residents to get vaccinated Forest fire evacuations are leading to a rise in COVID-19 cases in one northern community. On Friday the Northern Inter Tribal Health Authority (NITHA) declared an outbreak at Buffalo River Dene Nation. NITHA’s Medical Health Officer Dr. Nnamdi Ndubuka explained the current situation is due to residents being forced to leave due to the recent wildfires. “Prior to the evacuation order that was issued July 3, there were zero active cases in the community, so the evacuation process really played a central role in the resurgence of cases we are seeing,” he said.
