The Federation of Saskatchewan Indigenous Nations is calling on the province to increase its efforts to curb the spread of COVID-19 at Buffalo River Dene Nation.
The community located west of Buffalo Narrows near the Alberta border has been the epicentre of a COVID-19 outbreak since last week.
In a media release issued Monday afternoon, the FSIN is attributing the rapid spread of the virus to a lack of public health orders, RCMP enforcement and restrictions.
“Chief Elmer Campbell and his health staff are running out of options and the death of our most vulnerable could increase unless reinforcements are brought in by the Province and RCMP to enforce rules to keep COVID-19 numbers from continuing to climb. We support his calls for action and are calling on Premier Scott Moe to help immediately” FSIN Chief Bobby Cameron said. “We understand that many community members are frustrated and facing COVID fatigue but we must come together to ensure our vulnerable community members are safe.”
