"We have been very pleased with the collaboration with Yukon restaurants and bars as well as their exemplary demonstration of COVID-19 safe practices. An additional measure to protect customers and staff will be a daily list so that, we will be able to directly contact individuals who may have been present during an exposure. A list will mean contact tracers can reach out to contacts more quickly and help to prevent any further transmission." Yukon Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Brendan Hanley
The requirement is being introduced under the Eating and Drinking Establishment Regulations through Environmental Health Services.
Operators and owners were advised Wednesday, December 2, of the new requirement.
Yukon is not the only jurisdictions requiring bars and restaurants to collect and maintain this information.
Restaurants and bars will only be asked to produce these lists if a positive COVID-19 case is identified.
