CEIH Response to COVID-19 In addition to UBC's COVID-19 response, we at CEIH acknowledge that Indigenous Peoples in Canada are particularly at risk right now and we want to echo the wisdom being shared by many Nations right now: self-isolate, help community members who are at risk, and stay calm.

CEIH is also taking the following measures to ensure we do not contribute to the spread of COVID-19:

encouraging team members to work remotely
ensuring handwashing protocols are followed
practicing proper social distancing

After much deliberation, the IPH team has decided that in the best interests of the health and welfare of Indigenous communities during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, we will continue to offer the Indigenous Public Health Institute in an online format via Zoom. The IPH Winter Institute 2022 will offer the next segment of our course Pandemics in Indigenous Communities: Before, During and After Covid-19. The course will focus on what we have learned since February 2021 and planning for “after” Covid-19.
