The Nunatsiavut Government is advising that a small cluster of COVID-19 cases has been identified in the community of Postville. All cases have mild symptoms and are isolating. Contacts have been identified and are being followed up by Public Health.
There is also low COVID-19 activity reported in the community of Makkovik.
There are no known cases in any other Labrador Inuit community at this time.
Public health officials continue to stress that it is likely the virus that causes COVID-19 will continue to present itself in all Labrador Inuit communities, and that activity may or may not be documented or reported. Residents have to assume the virus is present and to continue to follow all public health protocols.
Individuals with symptoms, with no known exposure to the virus, should contact 811 or complete the online assessment tool at COVID Assessment and Referral (HOME – NLCHI) to determine if testing is required.
