Wash you Hands... If you can

Wash your hands. We see, hear this, all the time lately since it's one of the main protection against virus propagation. But, what happens if your water is not even clean enough for you to wash your hands? That's still the case for thousands of people of the First Nations. As of today, there are still 61 long-term drinking water advisories in place on public systems of Canadian Reserves. For these 2306 homes, it means boiling their water before doing anything with it. It also means they cannot bath their infants and elders with tap water.
The Canadian gov efforts already allowed for 88 advisories to be lifted. They project safe and accessible water for the remaining communities by March 2021.
