I'm considering visiting Nunavut. As of September 8, the total number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the territory since the pandemic began is zero. So, yes, keeping a contagious disease out of not just a city but an entire territory can be done.
However, all visitors to the territory are required to quarantine for 14 days before arrival. (Which explains how they're keeping the diseases out.) And the capital city, Iqaluit, doesn't have high-speed internet connections, being on an island north of the Arctic Circle. And the average high temperature in October (when I'd be out of quarantine) is -1°C. And food is expensive - it has to come in by air 10 months of the year.
But, hey, no COVID-19.
(goes and looks)
Aw... the border's closed unless permission is given to enter ahead of time.
