Mr. Speaker, earlier I spoke about our public health response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Today I would like to highlight how our health and social services system is responding to this unprecedented challenge.

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.
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.

Thank you Minister.
Let’s talk for a moment about what these orders actually mean, and how we’re going to implement them

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.
First of all I want to recognize what you all already know, that all Northwest Territories businesses are making difficult decisions as they implement what is being asked of them to limit the spread of COVID-19 across our territory.
Good afternoon.
As the Premier said, these are unprecedented times.
We put a name on it three weeks ago when we called a Public Health Emergency.
Good Afternoon.
Today we’re here to talk to media and residents about how the Government of the Northwest Territories will enforce orders made by the Chief Public Health Officer to protect NWT residents and communities.
