The Blood Reserve is under new public health measures, following an announcement from Chief Roy Fox and Director of Emergency Management Rick Soup on Friday, in response to the rise in COVID-19 cases. As of Jan. 4 there were only three active cases, with the most recent reported numbers as of Monday now showing 88 active cases on the Blood Reserve. “It is important for us to fully realize that we all have to do our part in controlling the spread of this dangerous virus,” says Fox. “We appreciate the fact that most of you have followed those, however, there are still some for us who have failed to follow these important rules that caused the sudden increase in the infection among our membership.”
LETHBRIDGE The Blood Tribe, also known as the Kainai Nation, has seen the number of cases climb from just three cases on January 4th, to 65 as of Monday. The rise in cases is a major concern for Chief Roy Fox who urged the nation’s membership to take the influx of cases seriously. “It is with all sincerity and empathy that we are informing you, our membership, about the importance of following the safety precautions that we have established and the necessity of enacting additional rules towards everyone’s safety. We require everyone’s co-operation and help in combating this dangerous virus, and we need to look after the total safety of Kainai/Blood Tribe,” said Chief Fox.
