Meili calls for more help in the North as COVID-19 case remain high
The New Democrats are urging Premier Scott Moe to institute greater localized public health measures in northern Saskatchewan to assist communities in addressing the spikes in new COVID-19 infections.
The hardest hit community of Buffalo River Dene Nation, located in the province’s Far North West Region, has a declared outbreak and has approximately 70 active cases, as of Tuesday.
“It’s not a surprise that the northern rates are low, they’ve been low since the beginning of the vaccine campaign. Extra work needs to be done in those communities,” said NDP leader Ryan Meili.
