This means anyone in Kátł’odeeche First Nation or Behchokǫ̀ are not allowed to go trick or treating.

  • They or anyone in their household has been diagnosed with COVID-19 and have not been declared recovered by their Healthcare Provider.
  • They have been told by a health care provider that they must self-isolate after travel or be in isolation.
  • They are in a household with someone self-isolating after travel or in mandatory isolation.
