Yukon health officials have issued new potential exposure notices for three Whitehorse locations last Friday, related to a new case of COVID-19 announced on Monday.

The new case is a Whitehorse resident and is linked to a previously announced case involving an out-of-territory worker who travelled to Yukon, health officials have said.

Anyone who was at the following locations at the listed times on Friday, April 9 should monitor themselves for symptoms:

• Canada Post and Shoppers Drug Mart in the Qwanlin Mall, 3 p.m to 4 p.m.

• Superstore, 5 p.m. to 6 p.m.

• Walmart, 5:45 p.m. to 6:15 p.m.

Health officials say anyone experiencing COVID-19-like symptoms should self-isolate, take the online assessment and arrange for a test by calling 867-393-3083 or booking online.

The case announced on Monday is the territory's 75th, and the only one currently active in the territory.

Yukon's chief medical officer is expected to provide an update on COVID-19 in the territory on Wednesday morning.
