IQALUIT - Nunavut's health minister says he wants Iqaluit residents to stop gathering so the city has a shot at a normal summer.
Lorne Kusugak scolded residents Friday at a news conference as a COVID-19 outbreak continued in the city of about 8,000 people.
"We have a very short summer and it seems it's getting shorter by the day," Kusugak said.
