MHA Lela Evans, the Independent member for Torngat Mountains says to get an accurate count but she believes about 170 workers are in isolation all five communities on the coast have people work at the minesite.
She says people on the north coast communities are stressed of COVID-19 at Vale minesite and the MHA for the area is blaming Government secrecy.
MHA Evans says the Nunatsiavut Government and Innu Nation are presented with case information, but overall totals are difficult to come by. That makes it tough on people who live in her district.
Her issue is with government not Vale.
She tried unsuccessfully to get answers from the provincial government. While COVID is harmful, she believes the secrecy is more harmful.
