A non-resident has tested positive for COVID-19 while in Yukon and is the first case to be hospitalized in the territory, according to the territory's chief medical officer. The person is at the Whitehorse General Hospital in stable condition, Dr. Brendan Hanley told CBC News on Saturday. "The infection was acquired outside of Yukon," Hanley said. As this person is not a Yukon resident, this case will not be included in Yukon's case count, Hanley said. Hanley said that the person tested positive Friday morning, and contact tracing is well underway.
