A former Yellowknife journalist is under intensive care in Mexico after he contracted COVID-19 there. His daughter, Jacki Danylchuk, told CBC News he's been in an induced coma since July 21, and the family has been receiving updates nearly every day. She's heard the Oaxaca is experiencing more COVID-19 cases, and suspects that may be the reason. So far, they've been paying for his medicine, which she understands is common practice in Mexico. Jacki said her father had tried to get a vaccine through the Canadian embassy in Mexico City and in Oaxaca.
