There are now two cases of COVID-19 in Rankin Inlet, linked to the outbreak in Iqaluit, according to Nunavut's public health officer. "Fortunately, shortly after arrival in Rankin Inlet, they were located by public health staff, tested, and put in isolation." Patterson said there is currently "very low risk" to residents in Rankin Inlet. He said that's because the virus was transmitted in Iqaluit and identified in Rankin Inlet. According to the statement, anyone who boarded Flight 239 in Yellowknife or Rankin Inlet is not considered to be at risk.
