Tribe’s EOC Continues to Report Zero COVID-19 Cases

AKWESASNE — The Akwesasne community is doing a great job following protective measures, such as mask wearing in all public places, as the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe’s Emergency Operations Center reported no new cases, no active cases, and nobody in quarantine under the Tribe’s jurisdiction today. We extend appreciation to everyone who is doing their part to keep us all safe, including those who got vaccinated to protect themselves, their families, and other community members.
