12 new cases reported in the city Friday
Nunavut’s Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Michael Patterson declared a COVID-19 outbreak in Iqaluit.
Iqaluit has 13 active cases of COVID-19 as of Friday, according to the government of Nunavut.
The city confirmed its first case Wednesday night and 12 more cases were announced Friday morning.
Patterson declared an outbreak in Iqaluit due to these new cases, but he said Friday there isn’t yet evidence of community transmission. Community transmission exists when public health cannot link all positive cases.
