(LifeSiteNews) – The Yukon Territory in northwestern Canada has declared a state of emergency and is imposing new regulations aimed at curbing the spread of COVID-19, including a proof-of-vaccination requirement which is set to take effect on Saturday.
The new measures were declared after the territory reported 80 new COVID-19 infections diagnosed over a three-day period between Friday and Monday of last week. Since the pandemic was declared, the Yukon has recorded 1,153 total cases attributed to COVID-19 and has recorded 10 deaths of people who have died after testing positive.
The Yukon has a population of just under 43,000 people, and spans an area of 482,443 km², larger than the state of California with a population of 40 million. The Yukon is one of the most sparsely populated regions in Canada, and residents are often far from each other.
A recent spike in cases came as almost 90 percent of the population of the territory has been fully vaccinated with an abortion-tainted COVID jab.
The new measures include:
- Mandatory masking in all indoor public settings and in outdoor public settings where physical distancing cannot be maintained
- Limits on personal gatherings to 10 people from a maximum of two households if all eligible people are vaccinated; household members only if any eligible people are unvaccinated
- Limits on organized gatherings, including conferences and weddings: indoor gatherings limited to 25 individuals with proof of vaccination required; outdoor gatherings limited to 50 individuals
- Limits on faith-based and cultural gatherings: maximum 50 per cent of venue capacity with proof of vaccination required; seating limited to individual households with physical distancing between households
- Proof of vaccination required for restaurants and bars
