WHITEHORSE - The Government of Yukon says students in several elementary classes at two schools in the communities of Watson Lake and Carcross have been asked to self-isolate as a result of positive COVID-19 tests, though the schools remain open. The government says letters advising self-isolation have been sent home for students in Grades 1, 4 and 5 at Johnson Elementary School in Watson Lake near the B.C. The territory says similar letters have also been sent for students in Kindergarten and the Grade 1, 2 and 3 split class at Ghùch Tiâ Community School in Carcross. Grade 10 students at Watson Lake Senior Secondary have been advised to monitor themselves for symptoms of COVID-19, but they are not required to self-isolate, and that school remains open as well. There are 37 active infections in the territory, with six cases diagnosed over the weekend.
