A number of health protocols have been put in place for residents in the Nass Valley and for those who may have travelled into the area between August 17th to 28th that after the announcement of a suspected COVID-19 exposure in the region.
The advisory issued on Saturday notes that all attendees of a funeral/feast for a community member between August 21 and 25th should contact the NVHA clinic in their area, as well as to notify their respective Village government chief Administrator, as well as to self isolate.
The period in question included the community ceremonies for recently deceased Nisga'a leader Dr. Joseph Gosnell.
The Nisga'a Lisims Government had already put in place significant travel restrictions through the summer towards keeping the spread of COVID-19 in check in the Nisga'a Nation.
Officials have added on to those guidelines in the wake of yesterday's advisory.
