Manitoba First Nations Police wants to help spread the word for everyone to be safe during the pandemic measures that have been taken in the Portage area.

Inspector Dave Scott"I know that Chief and Council has a strong concern with COVID-19 that's currently going on," says Insp. Dave Scott. "They're wishing for people not to travel during this time."

Scott notes Chief and Council are encouraging you to stay in your homes and limit your travel throughout the day. He adds it helps them accomplish their work in a much easier fashion.

"I know there have been some roadblocks placed up, which is helping solve some of these issues," continues Scott. "Hopefully, everybody follows through with that."
