Despite the fact that there are no new confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the province for the third day in a row, “we’re not yet in the clear” according to the province’s Chief Medical Officer of Health.

Of the province’s 257 confirmed cases, 194 are recovered. Six people are in the hospital, two of whom are in ICU. Three people have died.

Dr. Janice Fitzgerald says health emergency protocols remain in place and the “slow and steady approach” is more important now than ever to ensure a halt to the spread of the virus.
