The federal minister of Indigenous Services says even though the number of COVID-19 cases on reserves remains low, no one should be complacent.

Marc Miller told reporters during a news conference on Friday that borders and checkpoints are good for identifying people with COVID-19 entering a community, as well as making people aware of the disease, but the checkpoints can lead people to believe they are safe.

Wong also put out a call for nurses to step forward to serve in the North, acknowledging concerns that shortages of health professionals in remote areas has led to them flying from community to community and potentially spreading the disease. In late March, Miller outlined $305 million that's being distributed to Indigenous communities across Canada as they battle and prepare for COVID-19.

Assembly of First Nations National Chief Perry Bellegarde said First Nations must also be part of all decision-making when it comes to determining how resources are allocated.

Nova Scotia identifies 34 new cases of COVID-19; largest single-day increaseNova Scotia has identified 34 new cases of COVID-19, bringing the total cases in the province to 407. No, it is not 'new cases'. It is the number of positive tests. Why the media cannot see this fundamental difference is beyond belief. If testing stopped tomorrow, would that mean the infection did not exist ffs people, smarten up. Stay The Blazes Home
