An outbreak has been declared at Red River Place Personal Care Home in Selkirk.
The facility has been moved to the Critical (red) level on the Pandemic Response System.
In partnership with the chief and council from Cross Lake First Nation, provincial public health officials continue to see a trend of concerning case numbers in Cross Lake and are working with the community and other partners to address the situation.
The province says chief and council have directed that public gatherings are not permitted and community residents are required to stay at home.
Additionally, people should only leave their residence to seek testing or medical care, or to send one person from a household for essential supplies and non-medical masks must be worn outside the home.
