Over a week with no new cases of COVID-19 in the province is something to be happy about.

Many people and organizations are sharing those sentiments on social media on what is usually a weekend for gatherings with friends and family.

Thanks, Bruce Belbin for showing the love we all feel for our @MUN_Students and @MemorialU! Nice to see a few lights on in Res! pic.twitter.com/wiXXIoY3Vr

The residents at Alderwood Estates Retirement Centre in Witless Bay are celebrating every small victory by the province with music and dance.

This week, their version of the Ode to Newfoundland, led by 100-year-old Nora Normore from St. Vincents, was one of their highlights.

Renee Houlihan Recreation Director at the home says she hopes it brightens people’s days as much as it brightened theirs.

Meanwhile, some people are using the long weekend as an opportunity to thank the government officials that have been leading the charge against the COVID-19 pandemic.

Thank for for this special surprise, let's continue to work together #staysafe pic.twitter.com/VnDH0eTJaV

Premier Dwight Ball, who revealed he would be heading home to Deer Lake for the holiday, was welcomed back with a colourful array of signs on the lawn with messages of thanks on them.

Tiffany Caravan chose to show her appreciation for the province’s Chief Medical Officer through art.

Caravan drew a picture of Dr. Janice Fitzgerald, calling her “the hardworking lady we love to see most at 2 p.m.” and thanked her for everything she does.
