The Northwest Territories is reporting 30 new cases of COVID-19 in the past 24 hours.
The territorial case count now stands at 255, an increase of 19 since Wednesday.
More than 60 per cent of the cases are in Yellowknife, Dettah and Ndilǫ, where there are 160 cases, an increase of 17 from a day earlier, according to a news release from the N.W.T. Office of the Chief Public Health Officer (OCPHO).
Earlier Thursday, the territory issued public exposure notices for two locations in Yellowknife on Sept. 20.
People who were at the voting polls at the Explorer Hotel between noon and 1 p.m. or at the voting polls at the Multiplex between 4 and 7 p.m. may have been exposed to COVID-19.
They are asked to monitor for symptoms, and if they develop, to self-isolate and arrange for testing.
The notices came one day after N.W.T. Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Kami Kandola announced she was extending the pubic health order that imposes gatherings limits in Yellowknife, Dettah and Ndilǫ for an additional 10 days.
