Alert Level 2 Could Come Earlier Than Expected in Newfoundland and Labrador

As of Yesterday there were no new confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the province.

The province is at 11 days straight without a confirmed case of COVID-19.

The total number of confirmed cases in the province is still at 261.

To date, 13,449 people have been tested.

Newfoundland and Labrador entered Alert Level 3 Monday, as a further easement of public health measures allowed many stores and businesses to reopen to the public, and if all goes well, the province’s chief medical officer suggests there could be movement toward the next alert level sooner than expected.

Previously, the province has waited 28 days — four weeks — to move from one alert level to the next. During Monday’s update on COVID-19 numbers in the province, Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Janice Fitzgerald said Newfoundland and Labrador could conceivably move to Alert Level 2 in three weeks instead of four.
