... that Nunavut is the last territory or province in Canada to develop a COVID-19 case? Nunavut confirms first case of COVID-19: 'Supposed COVID-19 case in Nunavut deemed false positive; top doctor apologizes' "a second test showed it was a false positive, according to a government news release sent Monday. There are now no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the territory."

Expansion was 5X and recent enough, sources check out, no close paraphrasing or other plagiarism. The hooks are interesting, especially ALT 1. Presuming Nunavut does not have any confirmed cases when this article runs, I prefer ALT 1 to the original hook.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 18:30, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

@3family6: you could use the crossed out section instead of the "...even though it doesn't have confirmed cases" if there are any confirmed cases. Username⁶⁸⁹² 18:50, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
