- ... that Nunavut is the last territory or province in Canada to develop a COVID-19 case? Nunavut confirms first case of COVID-19: 'Supposed COVID-19 case in Nunavut deemed false positive; top doctor apologizes' "a second test showed it was a false positive, according to a government news release sent Monday. There are now no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the territory."

Expansion was 5X and recent enough, sources check out, no close paraphrasing or other plagiarism. The hooks are interesting, especially ALT 1. Presuming Nunavut does not have any confirmed cases when this article runs, I prefer ALT 1 to the original hook.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 18:30, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
- @3family6: you could use the crossed out section instead of the "...even though it doesn't have confirmed cases" if there are any confirmed cases. Username6892 18:50, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
Circuit breaker
editI am aware of 2020 Singapore circuit breaker measures. The lead said "Nunavut's Chief Medical Officer Michael Patterson announced on November 16 that a territory-wide "circuit-breaker" would take effect...". The thing is that Patterson did no such thing. He never used the words circuit breaker. Premier Savikataaq did say circuit breaker in the sentence: "Think of it as [a] circuit breaker, a chance to reset." He didn't say that the government was implementing a circuit breaker but that the restrictions are like one. Having circuit breaker in the lead without clarifying what it means for the reader may be confusing. Also it isn't encyclopaedic and we should not be using the slang of the day. By the way the term is not used in Nunavut other than the one off from the premier. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 05:41, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
- I've seen "circuit breaker" brought up by politicians in relation to proposed re-lockdowns in Saskatchewan... ViperSnake151 Talk 15:51, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
Medical cases chart
editSince Nunavut now has confirmed cases of COVID-19 for around a month and the total case numbers have become fairly large and still increasing rapidly, I think we should create a template titled Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/Canada/Nunavut medical cases chart.

Deaths
editAny idea why the Nunavut government website only lists one death when the media has recorded two? CaffeinAddict (talk) 04:14, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
