07/08/2021

The Public Safety Commission and the Kateri Memorial Hospital Centre Public Health Department wish to advise the community that, despite next week�s planned changes to social distancing measures in Quebec, Kahnaw�:ke will continue to follow its own timeline and public health measures.

�Public health measures around Kahnaw�:ke are changing, and in order to continue to protect our most vulnerable and limit the spread of COVID-19 and its variants, the 2-meter social distancing will remain in place for the time-being,� said Lloyd Phillips, Commissioner of Public Safety. �We have our current public health measures in place, but we will be reviewing and updating Kahnaw�:ke�s health measures on Friday, July 16th. We also want to remind Kahnawa�kehr�:non that any changes to our public health measures will be immediately communicated and explained to the community.�
