A COVID-19 outbreak has been declared at Whitehorse General Hospital. A news release references several “linked COVID-19 cases among staff,” and says no transmission from staff to patients has been identified so far.
As of March 4, there will be no more capacity limits or size limits for gatherings in Yukon, and bars and restaurants will be able to resume normal service without six-foot spacing between tables.
Yukon is still "in the thick of it" with the Omicron wave of COVID-19, according to the territory's top doctor. But Dr. Catherine Elliott says there are signs that the territory may soon be through the worst of it.
