The Nunatsiavut government is issuing travel restrictions to help reduce potential exposure and spread of COVID-19 on the north coast of Labrador.

All people travelling from outside the province bound for Nain, Hopedale, Makkovik, Postville, and Rigolet are asked to complete provincial self-isolation and testing requirements before entering the Labrador Inuit Settlement Area.

An isolation hub has been established in Happy Valley-Goose Bay for travelers from outside the province who plan to travel to the coast.

Subject to availability, rooms in the isolation hub will be free of charge for essential workers. Those travelling to the coast of Labrador for non-essential purposes will be required to cover all costs associated with staying at the isolation hub.

All travelers are asked to call (709) 896-8149—from Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Atlantic Standard Time—for more information, or to book a room at the isolation hub.
