Arviat to remain under lockdown; other restrictions eased elsewhere in Nunavut – Nunavut News
The increased public health measures to stop the transmission of Covid-19 in Nunavut which took place on Nov. 18 are easing up Wednesday with the exception of a few communities which will still see some additional restrictions in place.
“I would like to thank Nunavummiut for their patience and co-operation over the past two weeks as we work to contain the spread of Covid-19,” said Dr. Michael Patterson, Nunavut’s Chief Public Health Officer during a Covid-19 update on Nov. 30.
“My office has assessed the situation and has determined that until we can be absolutely certain there is no longer community transmission of Covid-19 in Arviat, current restrictions will remain in effect for that community.”
