The government of the Northwest Territories is giving new orders around gatherings, business closures, and physical distancing as the territory heads into a long weekend. The chief public health officer is officially banning all indoor gatherings effective Saturday. As for gatherings outside, these are allowed for up to ten people if they follow physical distancing protocol — at least two metres — the entire time. Dr. Kandola is also making formal orders for certain businesses to close, "because they are unable or unlikely to maintain proper social (physical) distancing." As of Thursday afternoon, no fines had been laid for violating public health orders.
