A case of COVID-19 has been confirmed at Ekati Diamond Mine. The person "isolated appropriately onsite" and is "doing well," said Dr. Kami Kandola, the territory's chief public health officer, in the release. Because the person is a non-resident, this case will not be included in the territory's case count. Dominion Diamond Mines, Ekati's parent company, closed Ekati in mid-March due to the pandemic and went into creditor protection shortly afterward. Workplace precautions work to reduce riskThe government says this case is an example of "workplace precautions working to reduce risk."
