Task Force reminder � FOLLOW LOCAL RESTRICTIONS
03/27/2020
The Kahnaw�:ke COVID-19 Task Force is urging ALL KAHNAWA:KE RESIDENTS to adhere to local directives and restrictions put in place during the COVID-19 pandemic. Community members are reminded that self-isolation during this time is absolutely essential for the health and safety of all fellow Kahnawa�kehr�:non. In accordance with the measures put forth by the Task Force, persons in violation can face fines/penalties by the Kahnaw�:ke Peacekeepers.
�We continue to receive reports of people � youngsters and adults alike � still gathering in groups, taking part in prohibited activities and ignoring physical distancing directives,� said Commissioner of Public Safety Lloyd Phillips. �Community members are also very upset that some tobacco sales to non-locals may be taking place in direct violation to directives enacted to prevent the spread of the virus to this community. This is not the time to act in such a greedy, reckless and dangerous manner.�
Anyone who witnesses any suspicious behavior should contact the Peacekeepers at 450-632-6505. The entire community needs to remain vigilant to keep us safe.
�The vast majority of Kahnawa�kehr�:non have been extremely supportive of the actions that we have taken,� Mr. Phillips concluded. �Most understand that the entire world is facing this pandemic and realize that COVID-19 knows no borders. We don�t have special immunity. We must stick together.�
