Tribe Reports 8 New COVID-19 Cases: 8 Total Active

Apr 25, 2022

AKWESASNE — The Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe’s COVID-19 Response Team reported 8 new positive cases of COVID-19 in the southern portion of Akwesasne over the past four (4) days -- from April 21, 2022 to April 25, 2022. All eight (8) cases remain active under the Tribe’s jurisdiction.

The active cases include two (2) children between the ages of 0 to 4-years old, and six (6) community members over the age of 18. We wish them all the very best for a safe and speedy recovery.

The rise in COVID-19 cases is a clear indication that the virus has not gone away and remains a threat to public health. As a result, we continue to encourage individuals who remain unvaccinated or need to complete their series of vaccinations to please do so at your earliest convenience. Being fully vaccinated and up-to-date on COVID-19 booster vaccines will greatly reduce your chance of serious illness or hospitalization due to COVID-19.

Individuals are encouraged to take personal protective measures to prevent any possible transmission, which may include social distancing and mask wearing. We ask that you please respect their personal decision, as an individual may have an underlying medical condition or due to their personal vaccination status. There are also some locations that continue to require masks due to federal or tribal regulations.
