For residents in communities, please continue to contact your health care provider or local health centre if you require testing.
- Yukon public health officials have issued a potential exposure notification following COVID-19 cases transmitted at Coeur Mining’s Silvertip mine in Northern BC. As a precaution, anyone working at the mine who has left the site within the previous two weeks should self-isolate until 14 days following their departure from the mine. In addition, anyone who has been at the mine site during the period of February 17 to the present should carefully self-monitor for symptoms of COVID-19.
- The clinic at the Convention Centre in Whitehorse is now accepting walk-ins, and is open to all Yukoners age 18 and older. Eligible residents are still encouraged to book appointments in advance. Appointments can be booked online at yukon.ca/en/this-is-our-shot.
- Proof of residency will be required to receive a vaccination, such as government issued identification, a Yukon health care card, or mail displaying your name and address. After receiving a vaccine Yukoners must continue following health measures, such as wearing a mask.
- Yukoners are reminded to stay home and get tested if they have symptoms, however mild. Testing hours are 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Sunday at the COVID-19 Testing and Assessment Centre.
- To help Yukoners at risk during this pandemic, people can access mental health and social supports online.
Travel and borders
- Yukon’s Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Brendan Hanley issued a statement advising Yukoners against all non-essential travel out of the territory. Those who do travel will be required to self-isolate for 14 days upon return to Yukon; this is enforceable under the Civil Emergency Measures Act.
- Canada and the US have continued to extend the border closures to non-essential travel until March 21, 2021. As of February 15, all travellers are required to have a negative COVID test to cross land borders into Canada.
- Everyone entering Yukon is required to self-isolate for 14 days. Exceptions include critical services workers that have left the territory to perform their work duties 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 except for when they are performing their duties.
