Indigenous Services Minister Marc Miller says 15 people living in Indigenous communities have been diagnosed with COVID-19.
Miller says the virus is a unique challenge in communities that are remote and he says the government is trying to get equipment there to help.
But he says COVID-19 is just one of the challenges Indigenous communities are facing this spring, including the risk of flooding.
