Yukon is worth the wait
Travelling safely during COVID-19
All residents of Canada can travel to the Yukon; however, some residents will be required to self-isolate upon arrival.
If you travel to one of the Yukon’s communities, make sure you follow any travel advisories issued by First Nations governments, municipalities or communities, and be safe and responsible.
Self-isolation required for travellers who do not live in BC, NWT and Nunavut
- All travelers arriving to the Yukon who do not live in Yukon, British Columbia, Northwest Territories or Nunavut are required to self-isolate for 14 days. This includes anyone arriving by road or air, whether they be visitors or Yukoners returning home.
- The Yukon government has mechanisms in place to monitor and ensure travellers are self-isolating.
