Good afternoon.
This week, we’ve been focused on planning for emerging gradually, and safely, from our current levels of public health restrictions.
The changes we’ve introduced to our Public Health Orders this week are allowing us to consider taking these first steps.
The territory-wide Public Health Emergency and State of Emergency have been extended in the Northwest Territories. Both extensions will take effect as of April 29, 2020 and expire on May 12, 2020.
Targeted changes have been introduced to keep residents safe, and keep COVID-19 contained in the NWT.
The Department of Industry, Tourism and Investment (ITI) is now accepting funding applications from Northwest Territories (NWT) businesses and artists interested in manufacturing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as well as other non-medical products.
To slow and contain the spread of COVID-19 it is of utmost importance to diagnose and isolate individuals infected with the virus. As we continue to learn about this new virus we need to reassess and adjust our approach, which includes who we test.
It is undoubtedly good news that at this time, our territory has no active cases of COVID-19, and our last confirmed case reported two-and-a-half weeks ago.
If you’re in the Northwest Territories, dialing 8-1-1 is your connection to COVID-19 information and services.
The new Service NWT COVID Support Line means residents can use one easy number to reach the established self-isolation, enforcement, and regional centre accommodations lines.
The Territorial Public Health Emergency and State of Emergency have been extended in the Northwest Territories. Both extensions takes effect as of April 15, 2020 and expire April 28, 2020.

Good afternoon.
As the spread of COVID-19 crossed our nation and touched our communities, our message has always been that our public health measures will get stronger before they let up.
