Kahnawake to maintain its own COVID-19 measures despite Quebec changes

07/08/2021

The Public Safety Commission and the Kateri Memorial Hospital Centre Public Health Department wish to advise the community that, despite next week’s planned changes to social distancing measures in Quebec, Kahnawà:ke will continue to follow its own timeline and public health measures.

“Public health measures around Kahnawà:ke are changing, and in order to continue to protect our most vulnerable and limit the spread of COVID-19 and its variants, the 2-meter social distancing will remain in place for the time-being,” said Lloyd Phillips, Commissioner of Public Safety. “We have our current public health measures in place, but we will be reviewing and updating Kahnawà:ke’s health measures on Friday, July 16th. We also want to remind Kahnawa’kehró:non that any changes to our public health measures will be immediately communicated and explained to the community.”
