In Sandy Bay First Nation, about 130kilometres north of Winnipeg, the chief and council have been dealing with an ongoing outbreak.
"We have had at least one new case every day since the end of September," said Randal Roulette, a Sandy Bay band councillor.
Roulette said most of the cases have been linked to the delta variant andthe local school has been shut down since September.
Between the end of September and Dec. 6, the community has had 178 total cases and three deaths.
Roulette said the community has implemented strict stay-at-home measures for people who are confirmed to have COVID-19 as well as anyone who has been identified as a close contact.
He said it has been difficult for some of the larger households where people aretesting positive days apart, causing prolonged isolation periods for the tenants.
"If we have a house of nine people, then they don't all become positive at the same time, so then the isolation kind of starts like a chain reaction where they can be isolating for over a month sometimes."
A total of 891,972 vaccine doses have been administered to individuals aged 12 years and older in 687 First Nations and Inuit communities as of Dec. 1. Of that number, 383,602 were second doses.
Several regions have also begun offering third doses of the vaccine on First Nations or to elders over a specific age, however no data on third doses is available through Indigenous Services Canada to date.
