Friday, October 23, 2020 – The Listuguj Mi’gmaq Government (LMG) is announcing one (1) new confirmed case and one (1) recovered case of COVID-19. The total number of active cases in Listuguj is one.

The LMG and Quebec Public Health are working collaboratively to monitor the situation closely and to provide on-going support to those affected. At this time, Quebec Public Health has determined that there is no risk to community members and residents, as the individual has been at home self-isolating.

The LMG can confirm, with the consent of the individuals who have tested positive, that the new positive case is directly related to the first and is contained to that single household. Members of the household are currently in isolation and are taking every step to contain the virus. We thank them for their on-going efforts in helping us keep each other safe.

We are pleased to report that the first individual who tested positive for COVID-19 has recovered. At this time, they will continue to self-isolate at home.

This is a reminder to all community members and residents of the importance of following the recommended Public Health advice:

  • Monitor for symptoms;
  • Stay home when sick;
  • Wash hands frequently;
  • Practice proper cough etiquette; and
  • Wear masks when out in public.

COMMUNITY RELEASE

Listuguj Confirmed Case Update

 

LISTUGUJ, Gespe’gewa’gi – On October 15, 2020, the Listuguj Mi’gmaq Government (LMG) announced a confirmed case of COVID-19 in Listuguj. We knew that this day would eventually come. We, as a community, have planned and are prepared to handle the task ahead of us.

“As Listugujewaq, our strength is our people. In times of hardship, we can always trust that we have each other. That we support one another and that our love for our community and Nation is strong. This pandemic is no different. I am calling on all of us to stand strong and united as we work to keep each other and our most vulnerable community members safe.”  – Chief Darcy Gray

The LMG is collaborating with Quebec Public Health to ensure all those affected are contacted. On Friday, October 16, our government initiated Step 7 of the Listuguj Emergency Plan, which triggered the closing of our government buildings. The closure will allow time for Quebec Public Health officials to complete their contact tracing and for the LMG to determine next steps.

Please be advised, all LMG buildings (with the exception of critical services) will be closed Monday, October 19, to allow time for Quebec Public Health to finish contract tracing. Additional information regarding next steps will be available once contact tracing is complete and we have a fuller picture of our current situation. An update will be provided Monday by 5:00 p.m.

COVID-19 Update

Further to Tuesday’s COVID-19 update, this message is to inform Listuguj residents that an employee (non-community member) of the Listuguj Community Health Services has tested positive for COVID-19.  The employee is currently self-isolating, and we are wishing them a speedy recovery.

As stated in Tuesday’s update, Public Health is conducting contact tracing, and some community members may be contacted to determine next steps. These next steps could include COVID-19 testing or additional protective measures.

As an extra precaution, we will be implementing a ‘rotational’ schedule for clinics so the community has the least disruption possible.  Please contact the Health Center to schedule your appointments during the morning hours beginning October 19, 2020.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause our clients. Please understand that we are implementing these measures to ensure the continued safety of our staff, clients and community residents.
