The Nisga'a Lisims Government has lifted a state of emergency in the communities of the Nass Valley that after Nisga'a Valley Health reported a steady decline in COVID-19 cases.
In an announcement released Friday afternoon, the Nisga'a Lisima Government Executive outlined how the Nisga'a Emergency Preparedness Committee met earlier today to discuss a potential extension of the Emergency measures; but with the steady decline in the COVID-19 case reports from Nisga'a health it was decided that no extension of measures was required.
The State of Emergency had been in place since November 26th.
