Métis Nation president tests positive for COVID-19

Métis Nation – Saskatchewan (MN-S) president Glen McCallum has tested positive for COVID-19, according to a Saturday news release.

McCallum received a positive result on Friday and is now self-isolating. He didn’t have any symptoms.

“I’m fortunate to be healthy and not have any symptoms, but this demonstrates how easily, and unknowingly, this virus is spread. I will remain in isolation until I receive the all clear from public health officials. I’m relieved and grateful that I was tested when I was and that my family is safe and healthy,” he said in the release.

MN-S encouraged the public to visit the SHA’s website for the most up-to-date information on COVID-19 and to follow preventative measures such as hand washing and physical distancing.

“It’s very easy as we go about our daily lives to not be as attentive as we were at the beginning of this global pandemic,” added McCallum.

“We must remind ourselves and others that we are not at the end of this health crisis—instead we are at a critical point as we see cases rise across the country. If nothing else, please let this be a reminder to remain cautious and follow all preventative COVID-19 protocols.”
