The Tla'amin Nation has extended a shelter-in-place order until Thursday afternoon as the number of COVID-19 cases within its territory continues to rise. "This is not a provincial order by any means," Hegus Clint Williams, a Tla'amin leader, said to Rohit Joseph, guest host of CBC's All Points West. Williams said most Tla'amin members have complied with the stay-at-home order. The nation will set up a COVID-19 testing station at its community health centre on Tuesday from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m., after more than 50 people were tested there on Thursday. Hegus Clint Williams said the shelter-in-place order is not a provincial public health order, but rather a reminder to stay home.
