According to the Watson Lake Healthcare News Facebook site, nearly 30 new active cases were reported Monday.
Meanwhile, a resident’s count has the number of active cases at 56.
In an interview with the Star Tuesday, Michael Gagnon said he has counted the known cases in the village, and has arrived at 56.
“Twenty-two of my family alone have COVID,” he said.
Gagnon said he is frustrated and angry about the disparity of numbers being reported by official sources such as the Yukon government – and what residents see happening in the town.
There are at least 150 more tests still pending, so it seems as if the numbers are poised to go up, he pointed out.
