A northern Manitoba First Nation has gone into lockdown after it says someone who travelled to the nearby town of Gillam later tested positive for COVID-19. The person doesn't live in Gillam or Fox Lake but had travelled by vehicle to Gillam to visit family, it said. The Fox Lake notice said the person didn't attend any businesses while in Gillam and didn't come into contact with anyone from the Cree Nation. No one is currently allowed to enter or leave Fox Lake's Bird reserve after someone who was in the nearby town of Gillam tested positive for COVID-19. The Fox Lake notice said there was no connection between the positive COVID-19 case with employees of Manitoba Hydro or the Keeyask dam site.
