The Gitxaala Emergency Management Team, Gitxaala Band Council and Gitxaala Nursing Station had an emergency meeting yesterday after being notified that someone had tested positive for Covid-19 while attending the funeral for Dr. Joseph Arthur Gosnell.
There was a small delegation of Gitxaala members who had attended and have been instructed to self-isolate.
Along with the isolation period those involved will be completing a screening assessment tool and reporting the results to a nurse daily for 14 days. Along with these precautionary measures those who attended the event will be tested and results will be made public if negative.
The likelihood of transmission from the identified person is low and everyone is reminded to continue to practice physical distancing and if unable to distance to wear a mask.
