CBC
Public health measures to contain the spread of COVID-19 in Kinngait, Nunavut, are being eased beginning Tuesday.
"It has been more than two weeks since the last active case of COVID-19 in Kinngait recovered and it is now safe to ease public health measures in the community," said Nunavut's chief public health officer, Dr. Michael Patterson, in a news release.
Patterson quickly ordered increased public health measures in the community of about 1,500 on Sept. 19 after it reported two cases. It reported a third case two days later.
At the time, many Nunavut communities were reporting new cases, prompting Patterson to also issue a territory-wide mask order, which is still in effect.
Beginning Tuesday, the changes to the public health measures in Kinngait will include:
