Residents of other parts of Canada
You must self-isolate for 14 days when you arrive in Yukon. This is the law in Yukon. This applies even if you were in British Columbia, Northwest Territories or Nunavut 14 days before arriving in Yukon.
What if you tested negative for COVID-19 before arriving in Yukon?
Even if you tested negative for COVID-19 before or upon arriving in Yukon, you still have to self-isolate for 14 days when you arrive in Yukon.
Why is self-isolation 14 days long?
It can take up to 14 days for people infected with COVID-19 to develop symptoms. So, everyone has to self-isolate for the full 14 days until the risk has passed. It's possible to have a negative test and still develop the disease during the self-isolation period. You should continue to self-isolate for the full 14 days even if you have negative test results.
