The Government of Yukon has announced new health measures across all Yukon airports effective immediately. People walking into any Yukon airport now must be wearing a mask. People entering the building or the airport terminal will be required to wear a non-medical mask or face covering.
This is in addition to the measures announced by Transport Canada on April 20th, 2020.
A Yukon Government news release says as travel restrictions begin to lift, an increase in airport traffic is anticipated throughout the summer months. The additional protective measures will help slow the spread of COVID-19 and ensure passengers and airport staff are able to maintain the same level of safety obtained from physical distancing, especially at crowded sections such as security checkpoints and check-in lines.
It is advised people only enter the airport if it is absolutely essential.
Yukoners are encouraged to use the free parking or the cell-phone waiting lot when picking passengers up.
Visitor Centres across the territory are also re-opening this week, they include buildings in Watson Lake, Whitehorse, Carcross, Haines Junction, Dawson City and Beaver Creek.
