Twenty-third Yukon resident dies of COVID-19

The Yukon’s acting Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Catherine Elliott is reporting another death of a Yukon resident from COVID-19. This brings the total to 23 since the first death was reported in October 2020.

Out of respect for the individual and their family, no additional information will be released. 

Each person who has died from this pandemic is a tragic loss for the Yukon. My deepest sympathies go out to the family and friends of this individual.
