Respiratory viruses in Nunavik
Respiratory viruses circulate actively in the population throughout the year. The Nunavik Regional Board of Health and Social Services' Public Health Department monitors respiratory viruses all year long, including COVID-19, influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). This surveillance allows them to track the trends of these viruses over the seasons and provide the population with up-to-date information on the epidemiological situation in the region. It remains essential to stay vigilant and maintain behaviors that always limit the transmission of respiratory viruses.

Dispel the myths!
- Talking about suicide for the purposes of prevention does not encourage people to think about suicide or carry out suicidal acts.
- It is a fallacy to believe that individuals who express suicidal thoughts are seeking attention. It is important to take any expression of suicidal thoughts seriously.
- An individual who thinks about suicide is not a coward. He wants to end his suffering and is ambivalent between his desire to live and his desire to end the suffering.
- Suicide is not a spontaneous act; it is the end of a process.
