Nunavut aims to lift public health emergency, COVID-19 restrictions in April

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.
