Statement from FNHA and Interior Health regarding USIB’s confirmed COVID cases. As staff we are urging all families to strictly self-monitor for COVID-19 symptoms at this time, please stay home and get tested if symptoms present themselves. Due to the small, tight-knit community of USIB, the risk is high for exposure and transmission so we all need to do our part in staying home when sick and getting tested if we show symptoms. Please reach out to Saisha, our Community Health Assistant, if you have any questions at (250) 499-1741.
Thank you,
