A Yellowknife resident has been diagnosed with COVID-19, according to health officials.
The individual recently returned from travel outside of the NWT.
A public health notice says they are isolating and doing well.
“The Office of the Chief Public Health Officer would like to remind the public that we expect an increase in COVID-19 introductions into NWT as case numbers increase in the rest of Canada,” reads the notice.
Health officials have not said whether the latest case is confirmed to be the Delta variant, a more easily transmissible strain of the virus.
This is the territory’s 175th confirmed case of the virus and the second case in recent weeks, the other being in Fort Smith.
