The government began sharing First Nations COVID-19 Daily Reports with local First Nation leaders, regional health authorities, and the Manitoba First Nations Pandemic Response and Coordination Team (PRCT). These reports assisted in planning and preparedness efforts for the pandemic. The data of the reports utilized multiple sources to identify First Nations, including identifiers collected through the COVID-19 vaccine consent form, investigation interviews, the Indian Status Registry records, case reviews, and household-based familial linkages.
