Boozhoo All,

We had 7 new cases and 37 total active cases as of 1/18/22 in the Bois Forte Community.

What you can do to slow the spread:

Please wear a mask with all contacts outside of your household.

Please get vaccinated or boosted: Starting January 18, 2022, if you have contact with a positive case and your COVID vaccines are not up to date you WILL BE QUARANTINED. Bois Forte will be adopting the quarantine guidelines form CDC and MDH at that time.

What that means is: If you had Pfizer or Moderna and it’s been longer than 5 months since your last shot OR you had Johnson & Johnson and it’s been longer than 2 months you are DUE NOW FOR A BOOSTER! For more information:
