Tu Nedhé-Wiilideh MLA Steve Norn has been charged under the Northwest Territories' Public Health Act. According to the Territorial Court criminal docket, he's set to make a first appearance on June 15 for two alleged infractions on April 17. No fine was specified on either charge, but previous fines under the Public Health Act for these kinds of violations have been $1,725. CBC News attempted to reach Norn by phone and text message but did not immediately receive a response. While public health officials have not connected that cluster to an outbreak in the city's schools, they did not rule out the connection, confirming that the first case at the city's N.J. Macpherson School came from exposure to a domestic traveller.
