The Department of Health is reminding community members to follow the public health guidance to keep their household safe and healthy during the holiday season: wear a mask when gathering with people not in your household, practice social distancing, and wash/sanitize hands frequently.
The holidays can be a tough time for some community members. Let’s check in on one another and take care of each other during the holiday season.
The Mohawk Council of Akwesasne’s Department of Health and Department of Community & Social Services would like to wish you all a safe, happy holiday!
