The Mayor of Happy Valley-Goose Bay is expressing discomfort over an Italian military aircraft that recently landed at 5-Wing Goose Bay.
The Hercules, with eight military personnel on board is part of a NATO mission involving the escort of a fleet of Italian aircraft from the United States back to Italy.
Italy is at the epicentre of the COVID-19 pandemic. Labrador MP, Yvonne Jones says the proper precautions were taken to ensure the safety of Labradorians.
Jones says there is absolutely no threat to the health of Labradorians. She says each of the people on board were tested for COVID-19 prior to leaving Italy, and all of the results came back negative.
The aircraft is set to leave sometime on Monday evening, but will be returning at the end of the month to continue the mission.
