NL Reports 3 New COVID-19 Cases

No COVID-19 updates were scheduled for this weekend but there was a news release on Saturday reporting three new cases. All of the cases were located in the Eastern Health region. Two are related to travel within Canada and one is a close contact of a previous case.

Because of the new, Public Health is issued two flight advisories.

• Air Canada Flight 8016 that departed Montreal and arrived in St. John’s on Tuesday, April 20.

• Air Canada Flight 8996 that departed Halifax and arrived in St. John’s on Thursday, April 22.

Passengers who travelled on either of those flights are being asked to arrange COVID-19 testing.

To date, 131,432 people have been tested.

Once again no update is scheduled for today or tomorrow because it is St. George’s Day.
