There were 28 known active cases of COVID-19 at Keeseekoowenin Ojibway First Nation, Chief Norman Bone reported Wednesday via Facebook.
The Sun reached out to Bone to confirm the active case count but did not receive a response by Friday’s print deadline.
In the original Facebook post, Bone clarified 211 tests had been done, 28 positive cases were found and that more testing needed to be done. The community’s pandemic team has been meeting by conference call with Prairie Mountain Health and First Nations officials to plan a pandemic support plan.
