In Clyde River, Nunavut, the community is already implementing emergency readiness plans for the control of COVID-19. Community leadership together with a coordinated public health approach are needed to eliminate tuberculosis in Nunavut. WHO has recognised the need for community-driven responses and encourages implementation of innovative people-centred approaches to tuberculosis during the COVID-19 pandemic. Equipped with culturally appropriate information and ownership of the resources needed to tackle COVID-19 and tuberculosis, Inuit communities can protect and prepare their members. Elsewhere, communities that are given adequate resources and implement prevention and treatment strategies can win the fight against COVID-19 and tuberculosis.
