Community members who have recently been laid off due to the pandemic or whose Employment Insurance has ended are asked to apply for CERB before trying to apply for Social Assistance.

The CERB is available to workers who meet all the following conditions:

Each emergency kit should contain:

It was recently announced that one employee of the IGA grocery store in New Richmond has tested positive for COVID-19. If you or a family member you live with shopped at this location between April 9th and 16th, it is important that you closely monitor your health and self-isolate for 14 days. If you experience symptoms of cough, fever, difficulty breathing or have lost your sense of smell, please call 1-877-644-4545 for further instruction.
An investigation is underway to determine who the employee would have had significant contact with which would include being within two meters of each other for at least 15 minutes. Other interactions would be classified as low risk. However, it is paramount that we remain vigilant and follow all health and safety guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in Listuguj.
Please stay home as much as possible as this is the safest way to protect yourself, your family and the community.
