Health and Community Services is reporting four new confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the province today.

Three—including two people under the age of 20—are in the Eastern Health region and are related to international travel. The fourth is a woman in her 60s in the Labrador-Grenfell Health region and is related to travel in Canada.

The province is reporting two new recoveries, with one person—a crewmember from a ship that was once anchored in Bay Bulls—in hospital with the virus.

That leaves seven active cases of COVID-19 in the province.

Advisory for Topsail Road Starbucks in Paradise

The ongoing investigation into a recent positive COVID case in the Eastern Health region has prompted a special public advisory.

Public Health is asking anyone who visited the Starbucks on Topsail Road in Paradise on the evening of Wednesday, August 11, between 9:00 and 10:00 p.m. to get tested for COVID-19. That does not apply to patrons who only used the drive-through.

Testing can be arranged by accessing the province’s COVID-19 website, or by calling 811. Anyone who visited that location and are experiencing symptoms is required to self-isolate until 24 hours after their symptoms resolve and they receive a negative test.

Those who visited the restaurant at that time and who do not have symptoms do not have to isolate until they receive a negative test result, but should continue to monitor for symptoms.
