    Bigstone Cree Nation Update March 26, 2020

    • Medical Update:

    As of March 23, 40% of new COVID-19 cases are community spread, this is a major change in that the virus is now being spread by people that have not traveled abroad. We must now assume that the virus is in the community and anyone could be a carrier. Quote from infection control expert “YOU COULD PICK IT UP ANYTIME, FROM ANYBODY”

    Non-urgent medical appointments will be postponed, including physicals/check-ups. Visits that are more urgent and require an in-person visit will still be available. If you are uncertain about the need to be seen in person, please call 811

    If you think you may have COVID-19, please be aware that we are NOT currently equipped to test for COVID-19 at our clinic’s. Instead, call the Medical Phone Lines for Screening listed below for instructions on how or when to get tested, Bigstone Referral Unit will NOT transport any clients with flu like symptoms, please call 911 if there is an emergency

    When COVID-19 reaches the peak period of the virus it is critical that we self-isolate and stay home to protect ourselves and the most vulnerable in our community
