“Overall, representatives reported their organizations are managing the uptick in COVID cases well and want to remind county residents to do their part to slow down the spread of the virus. Fort Peck Tribes shared that they will continue to monitor the case positivity rate to determine how and when to lift their current stay-at-home order. The current order goes through the end of October. The Tribes have been able to order three ventilators for local hospitals, as well as HEPA filters, and other COVID related supplies. Thanks to this and other collaborations, all PPE and supply needs are met across the county at this time. The National Guard is currently providing additional assistance to local healthcare facilities, and will be here through the end of the month. By working together across jurisdictions we will be able to mitigate this virus as a united community.
“Testing continues to be available from your healthcare provider, as well as at both IHS locations. However, at this time, IHS is determining testing availability on a day-by-day basis, so please call ahead to check if testing is being done that day. Call 653-1641 for the Wolf Point location, or 768-3491 for the Poplar location.
