Current phase (started July 1; end date to be determined)
Being in Phase 2 of Yukon's plan for lifting COVID-19 restrictions means:
- people can gather socially in groups of up to 50 people outdoors and up to 10 people indoors but must still stay physically distanced;
- restaurants can provide dine-in services at 100% capacity if they can maintain physical distancing, as well as take-out;
- personal services can reopen;
- people should travel responsibly within the territory;
- everyone must continue practising the Safe 6;
- households can combine with 1 other household to form a 2-household bubble even if that amounts to more than 10 people.
Self-isolation
- Residents of Yukon, British Columbia, Northwest Territories and Nunavut do not have to self-isolate when they arrive in the territory.
- Residents of other parts of Canada who arrive in Yukon must self-isolate, with limited exceptions.

Travel and borders
See all information about travel and borders.
If you're travelling to Alaska
The border between the United States and Canada is closed to all non-essential travel. Americans can travel into Canada if they’re travelling:
- to Alaska; or
- from Alaska to the rest of the United States.
Americans travelling through Yukon have to follow a designated travel corridor. We give travellers a map of this route at Yukon borders. The State of Alaska introduced travel guidance. Read Alaska’s health guidance for travellers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
If you're travelling to Northwest Territories
Before you travel, read Northwest Territories travel guidelines.
