Good afternoon everyone.
I would like to begin with an update on the presumptive tests received by two people in Yellowknife.
Both individuals are part of the same household. One had traveled, while one had not. All isolation protocols seem to have been followed. The individual who had traveled isolated. The individual who had not traveled kept their distance in the home. And they isolated as soon as the other individual developed symptoms as-required.

Good afternoon.
First, I’d like to acknowledge that those residents who received the presumptive positive COVID-19 tests are recovering with close monitoring from public health. Our thoughts are with them.
We recognize that we are not immune to COVID-19 in the NWT. That is why we have worked hard over the past several months to build capacity to manage the risk and be as responsive as possible when we have positive cases.

Good afternoon, and thank you for being here today.
As you are aware, the Office of the Chief Public Health Officer announced three presumptive cases today – one case in Inuvik, and two cases in Yellowknife.

I rise today to provide a fiscal update but in doing so, I want also to speak about one of the most valuable economic resources that exists across the whole of the Northwest Territories: resiliency.
