The Northern Inter-Tribal Health Authority (NITHA) notified the public on Wednesday of a potential COVID-19 exposure at Sturgeon Lake First Nation.
According to a release, an individual who tested positive for COVID-19 attended a wake and funeral while they were likely infectious.
The wake was on Dec. 26 and 27 and the funeral was on Dec. 28.
Public health officials are advising individuals who were at the events on those specific dates to immediately self-isolate if they have had or currently have symptoms of COVID-19. They advise to call HealthLine 811 or the nearest community health clinic to arrange for assessment and testing.
