The Office of the Chief Public Health Officer is two days late and a dollar short taking action for public safety amid the growing Yellowknife COVID-19 outbreak among, mostly, young people.
The official call to close all Yellowknife schools was finally made on Sunday, May 2 SA国际影视传媒� 10 days after the first contact exposure notice was issued for St. Patrick High School on April 22. The schoolSA国际影视传媒檚 Twitter account posted on April 23 that St. PatSA国际影视传媒檚 would remain open at that time.

Daycare may not be closed, but who can afford it? Dayhomes are closed, which are usually a more accessible option because they tend to cost less.
People are supposed to be working from home, meaning family homes are now effectively also offices and schools; all within the same walls weSA国际影视传媒檝e all been staring at for a year now.
