“It is important that we do whatever we can to control the spread of the virus,” Nunatsiavut President Johannes Lampe said in a news release on Monday. “We have received concerns that improved ice and snow conditions will see more people travelling to and from our communities by snowmobile. “There are no confirmed or presumptive cases in any other Labrador Inuit community,” Lampe said. “Let’s try and keep it that way.”Nunatsiavut’s population of 2560 is spread out between five communities along the Atlantic coast: Nain, Hopedale, Makkovik, Postville and Rigolet. There are approximately another 3,440 beneficiaries who live outside Nunatsiavut.
