The community desperately needs tests, medical personnel, PPE and mental health supports. The rapid testing team could not land, but there are other ways of getting it there. This first case is someone who had to go to Winnipeg for medical treatment. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6270142\" data-originallang=\"en\">I have been in touch with the parliamentary secretary, but will the government treat this as a wake-up call? York Factory and northern and indigenous communities need help now.</p>",

La communaut\u00e9 a d\u00e9sesp\u00e9r\u00e9ment besoin de tests, de personnel m\u00e9dical et d'\u00e9quipement de protection individuelle. De plus, des mesures de soutien \u00e0 la sant\u00e9 mentale sont requises. L'avion qui transportait l'\u00e9quipe de d\u00e9pistage rapide n'a pas pu atterrir, mais il y a d'autres moyens pour acheminer de l'\u00e9quipement \u00e0 la communaut\u00e9. Quand la premi\u00e8re personne atteinte de la COVID-19 a \u00e9t\u00e9 diagnostiqu\u00e9e, elle a d\u00fb se rendre \u00e0 Winnipeg pour recevoir des soins m\u00e9dicaux. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6270142\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je communique r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement avec le secr\u00e9taire parlementaire, mais le gouvernement entendra-t-il cette sonnette d'alarme? York Factory, les communaut\u00e9s du Nord ainsi que les communaut\u00e9s autochtones ont besoin d'aide maintenant.</p>"
