Suggested Response:

• The Government of Canada recognizes that during this crisis, those in remote and fly-in only parts of the country are uniquely vulnerable to COVID-19.

• We are actively working with partners to ensure health professionals are in place and that tools to support workers on the ground, for example tele-health phone consults for nurses, are available.

• In close coordination with our partners, we will continue to closely monitor surge capacity needs and provide PPE for remote and isolated communities.
