Here's the latest on COVID-19 in the North

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, CBC North will keep track of the latest confirmed cases in each territory here, and the latest stories, updated every day.

Nunavut

• The territory reported more than a dozen new cases of COVID-19 in Arviat this week, prompting the declaration of a local state of emergency. Residents are now prohibited from leaving their homes between 10 p.m. and 6 p.m., unless hunting or heading to work, and travel to and from the community is restricted. The community had 26 active cases as of Friday; the state of emergency comes up for renewal Tuesday.
• As of Friday, there have been 356 cases of COVID-19 in Nunavut since the pandemic began. According to the government's website, 329 people have recovered and one person has died. 
• Health officials announced they would ease restrictions in most other Nunavut communities, returning students to full-time in-person learning and allowing community halls and other event spaces to host up to 100 people.
• The territorial government announced on Feb. 12 that clinics in seven communities will be providing the first dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, beginning the week of Feb. 22. As of Thursday, the territory had administered 6,850 doses of the vaccine.
• On Jan. 27, the Nunavut government announced it was expanding its vaccine program.

Northwest Territories

• Health officials delayed their deadline to vaccinate 75 per cent of eligible residents by one month, citing delays in vaccine deliveries. They now expect to vaccinate most residents by the end of April.
• Three workers at the territory's Gahcho Kué diamond mine have been hospitalized amid a wider outbreak of COVID-19, including one who was medevaced to Edmonton. 19 cases have been confirmed at the mine site, and hundreds of workers are in isolation.

• Health Minister Julie Green said on Thursday travellers from Nunavut can apply to be exempted from the mandatory 14-day self-isolation period when they submit their self-isolation plan before they travel to N.W.T. — but Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Kami Kandola said a similar arrangement for Yukon would not be considered at this time.
