Buffalo Point First Nation Covid-19 Pandemic Response
Community Update – Holiday Season at Buffalo Point
Dec. 17, 2020
Buffalo Point Frist Nation would like to Thank all staff, residents, patrons, and guests for their past and anticipated support and cooperation during this unprecedented pandemic time.
Please watch our Facebook page for holiday hours and for virtual and social distance activities that may be occurring at the “Point” during this holiday season.
To slow the transmission of Covid-19 and protect our most vulnerable citizens, please be reminded that Buffalo Point First Nation has implemented provincial critical level (red) public health orders from December 11, 2020 – January 2, 2021. Failure to comply with these safety measures could result in penalty and/or fine as set by the Province of Manitoba. This includes:
- Limiting individuals in your home and/or on your residential property to only those individuals who live at that residence. The cottage you own and land you lease at Buffalo Point are considered your home and residential property.
- When outdoors for play or physical activity, please do so only with individuals from your immediate household and in groups no larger than 5 individuals from the same household. Individuals/groups not from the same household need to keep a distance of two meters apart while wearing a non-medical mask. This means if you are walking with your neighbor, it is recommended you be at least two meters apart and both wearing a mask.
- Engaging safely in outdoor physical activity. Weather permitting, the outdoor skating rink, play structures and sliding hill will be open over the holidays. Only 1 household (maximum of 5 members from the same household) may use a recreational facility at a time. If another household is waiting to use a facility, please limit your use to 20 – 30 minutes.
- Only travel for essential services and travel as little as possible. When leaving the house to obtain essentials, be sure to physically distance, practice frequent handwashing/sanitizing, cough etiquette and wear a non-medical mask.
- Do not leave the home if you are sick, or when any member of your family is sick. Anyone who has Covid-19 symptoms, or has a household member who has symptoms, the entire household needs to self-isolate pending COVID-19 test results. The symptomatic individual needs to stay in their own room and, if possible, use their own bathroom and not use common areas.
- Additional information on Public Health recommendations and orders can be found at: https://www.gov.mb.ca/covid19/
May we take this opportunity to Wish You and Yours a Peaceful, Safe, and Covid Free Holiday Season. All the Best in 2021 and looking forward to once again gathering when it is safe to do so!
