There is a presumptive case of COVID-19 in Nunavut at the Mary River Mine, the territory's chief public health officer announced Thursday. Nunavut has been the only jurisdiction in Canada without a confirmed case of COVID-19 so far. One case was reported in Pond Inlet on April 30, but that case was later determined to have been a false positive . Baffinland Iron Mines Corporation, the company that runs the Mary River Mine, sent its Nunavut workers home with pay in response to the pandemic in March. If the additional testing yields a positive result this will be considered Nunavut's first case of COVID-19," said Patterson.
