There are now 134 active cases of COVID-19 in Yellowknife, around 60 per cent of the territory’s toptal active case total of 220, dropping below two-thirds.

Yellowknife and Behchokǫ̀ were prioritized for a new vaccine program, which gives third doses of the Moderna vaccine to immunocompromised and frontline workers.

The two communities are being prioritized because of the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak in the areas, according to a statement from Dr. Kami Kandola, Chief Public Health Officer for the NWT.
