Health care
- Yukon’s Chief Medical Officer of Health confirmed two new cases of COVID-19, bringing the territory’s total to 84 cases. There is currently one active case in Yukon. Case 83 is an adult in Whitehorse and is related to international travel. There were no public exposures. Case 84 is a Yukon resident who acquired the infection out of the territory, was tested out of the territory and will remain out of Yukon until they're non-infectious.
- A supply of the Pfizer vaccine has been arranged for the territory and will allow Yukoners aged 12 to 17 to be vaccinated. Youth vaccine clinics will be held in most communities and medical travel will be supported for those places where a youth clinic is not held. More details about the vaccine rollout for youth will be shared with First Nations, communities and families in the coming weeks.
- 74 per cent of all eligible Yukoners have received their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, and the third round of mobile immunization clinics in all rural communities is completed. The Government of Yukon has released current vaccination rates for all Yukon communities, and updated rates will be released monthly.

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.

- 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.
