A fly-in First Nation in northern Ontario has its second case of COVID-19, creating a "crisis within a crisis" in the community, which is already reeling from the deaths of three members since Sunday, according to the community's leadership. Eabametoong First Nation Chief Harvey Yesno said he fears community spread is the cause of the second COVID-19 case in the community. Andrew Yesno, who was the community's first COVID-19 case and has since recovered, said the news of the second case has increased the pressure on the community. Andrew Yesno says the new COVID-19 case is creating a "crisis within a crisis." Culturally appropriate contact tracing involves using the Ojibway language and a specialized approach to reaching people.
