There are now 31 hospitalizations in Newfoundland and Labrador due to COVID-19—the highest number since the pandemic began.
Of those hospitalizations, only 3 are in critical care.
In the meantime, two new deaths are being reported in the province today since the last update on Friday.
That brings to 87 the total number of people in the province who have died as a result of the virus.
Meanwhile, the number of PCR confirmed COVID cases reported in the province today has dropped to 324.
Last week the province changed its eligibility criteria for PCR tests, limiting eligibility to certain vulnerable groups including seniors over the age of 60, the immunocompromised, the very young and frontline health care workers.
