Nearly two months after emergency public health measures were put in place, there remain a dozen active COVID-19 cases in the province.
No new confirmed cases were announced again today. Of the total number of confirmed cases in Newfoundland and Labrador, 244 are recovered. That leaves just 12 active cases remaining, most of which are managing their illness at home. The number includes four patients who are currently in hospital. Three people have died.
Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Janice Fitzgerald says with Mother’s Day coming this weekend, she’s advising that residents consider a virtual celebration.
Especially for mothers in long-term and personal care homes, many of which are accepting gifts that can be passed on to residents.
