"The federal government has assisted with resources, including two nurses for Rankin Inlet," said Nunavut Health Minister John Main. "The Red Cross has also provided assistance with six nurses to assist with the COVID-19 response in Igloolik, Baker Lake and Taloyoak — the communities currently with the most COVID-19 cases outside of Iqaluit."
This comes after the federal government arranged in January for three nurses and nine contact tracers to help respond to the wave of cases associated with the Omicron variant in the territory...

IQALUIT, Nunavut — Nunavut's chief public health officer says the territory will aim to end its public health emergency on April 11.
Dr. Michael Patterson says COVID-19 public health measures will also ease every two weeks until all restrictions put in place during the pandemic are lifted.
Patterson declared the emergency two years ago as COVID-19 first spread across the country.
Patterson says lifting COVID-19 restrictions will also allow a shift of public health resources.
Starting Monday, gathering sizes can increase across the territory and bars and restaurants can open at 50 per cent capacity.
Nunavut is reporting a total of 472 active cases of COVID-19 and 33 hospitalizations...

Nunavut set to stop posting weekly COVID-19 case counts
Chief public health officer says reporting will be sporadic unless there's an outbreak
CBC News · Posted: Mar 30, 2022 11:30 AM CT | Last Updated: 9 hours ago
Public updates to Nunavut's COVID-19 case counts aren't coming as frequently as they once did, and the territory plans to pare those back further still, says Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Michael Patterson.
The territory is getting ready to lift its public health emergency on April 11. Until recently, Nunavummiut could pull up the government's website and look at the latest case numbers from the previous day — but earlier this month, the territory reduced its reporting to once a week.
Patterson said Wednesday those weekly updates will be dropped as well in the next few weeks.
"Then it will be sporadic reporting when we're asked or on an infrequent basis, unless there appears to be an outbreak in a community, in which case we would return to providing more regular numbers," he said...
