The rule will apply to all Yukoners over the age of 2 starting December 1 with limited exceptions.
Face masks will now be mandatory in indoor public places in Yukon due to the increasing number of cases.
Starting December 1, it will be mandatory to wear a non-medical mask in all indoor public spaces which include shopping centres, service businesses such as mechanics or cleaners, personal care services such as hair salons, common areas in hotels, convention centres, community, and recreational centres, public faith gatherings, and other publicly shared spaces.
The rules will extend to all Yukoners over the age of two, with limited exceptions. Some of the exceptions include people with medical conditions that prevent them from wearing masks, people participating in sports, people in private areas of long-term care homes, and anyone eating or drinking in a public restaurant.
