No New Confirmed Cases of COVID-19

Newfoundland and Labrador reported no new cases of COVID-19 for a fourth straight day on Wednesday.

Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Janice Fitzgerald said 266 people have now recovered from the virus, leaving one active case in the province, in the Eastern Health region.

In total, 33,892 people have been tested, including 226 in the last day.

Fitzgerald said there are reported COVID-19 outbreaks at both the Syncrude, Mildred Lake oilsands site near Fort McMurray, Alta., and Suncor’s base plant north of Fort McMurray.

Fitzgerald says workers from those locations who are returning to Newfoundland and Labrador should self-isolate and call the province’s public health line, 811, for further direction.
