Dr. Heather Morrison (Gov of PEI)
P.E.I. had zero new COVID-19 cases since April 28th but that changed on Saturday.
Prince Edward Island’s Chief Public Health Officer, Dr. Heather Morrison, announced three new cases of the virus during an unplanned press conference.
The new cases are two people in their 20’s and a man in his 50’s.
One case is connected to Nova Scotia.
Morrison says the man travelled to the province where he had contact with someone from the United States.
She says the second case had close contact with the first and the woman in her 20’s is employed at the Whisperwood Villa.
All residents and staff are being tested but no one in the long term care home is showing any symptoms.
Morrison says the third case is an essential worker that recently left the island and self-isolated upon return.
P.E.I. Premier Dennis King says no changes will be made to the Atlantic bubble, for now.
