Health care
- The Government of Yukon is extending the State of Emergency under the Civil Emergency Measures Act (CEMA). By extending the State of Emergency, the government remains able to adapt to potential rapid changes in the COVID-19 situation, including monitoring the 3rd wave in Canada and reviewing emerging data on variant spread to inform our decisions. The State of Emergency will be extended for up to 90 days and can be cancelled at any time.
- Yukon youth age 12 to 17 are now able to receive their 1st doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine in Yukon communities. In Whitehorse, first shots are being administered at the Yukon Convention Centre. 2nd dose clinics will start as early as June 23. Find more information and book an appointment.
- A clinic in Whitehorse is open for residents age 18 and older to receive their first and second doses of the vaccine by appointment or by walk-in. The clinic is open Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.; on Wednesdays it is open from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. Residents of rural communities can call their local clinics for an appointment. Find more information and book an appointment.
- Yukoners who have had a COVID-19 test can now receive their negative test results online using their Yukon health care card. Possible results include “negative” or “not ready.” Anyone who tests positive for COVID-19 will be contacted promptly by Yukon Communicable Disease Control and instructed on next steps.
- The COVID-19 Testing and Assessment Centre is open 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Sunday. Those experiencing severe symptoms and requiring immediate assistance can go to the Whitehorse General Hospital Emergency Department, a community hospital or health centre.
Travel and borders
- As of May 25, any traveller arriving from within Canada who is fully vaccinated with a Health Canada-approved vaccine is not required to self-isolate, provided their vaccination status can be confirmed.
- If an individual does not want to consent to providing that information, they can still enter the territory as long as they self-isolate for 14 days. Additional exceptions include critical services workers and residents of border areas such as Atlin, Lower Post, Fire Side, Jade City, Fraser, Good Hope Lake and Pleasant Camp. Critical service workers must fully self-isolate when not performing their duties. Find more information on travelling to Yukon.
- Canada and the US extended the border closures to non-essential travel until June 21, 2021.
