Some of the key things are what every Canadian is facing, which are fear, anxiety and stress. The additional barriers, if people are living in on-reserve communities, are poor access to sites in urban settings, and stigma if somebody has had COVID. Right now, we know that having COVID increases the stigma for all people who have had COVID. There is more stigma and there is discrimination that can also be faced.
Coming back to Dr. Lavoie's point, I think many people are scared to get care for chronic health conditions unrelated to COVID, and that can also have a major impact as far as mortality goes. We know that our first nation communities have significant health disparities. People are less likely to come for appropriate care. We have the tools to be able to provide telephone or video conferencing assessments, and we really need to do this so that people can feel safe to access care in their home communities.
