The Office of the Chief Public Health Officer says that “anyone indoors at the NWT Courthouse for more than 10 minutes during these dates should self-monitor for symptoms.”  

Anyone who is self-monitoring and feels symptoms should self-isolate and arrange for testing.

Many of the exposure notices which have been declared over the past few weeks have expired, as more and more cases recover connected with the Sahtu outbreak.
