A northern territory in Canada took drastic measures at the start of the pandemic and managed to stay COVID-free to this day.
Nunavut closed its borders in March and shifted residents who weren’t at home at the time of the shutdown to hotels as they returned, where they waited a full two weeks before they were allowed to go back to their homes.
The sheer size of Nunavet helped with this isolation move: It’s about three times the size of Texas with only 25 communities — all of which are accessible only by plane.
