During a news update on Sunday, Dr. Heather Morrison announced six new cases of COVID-19 have been identified, all in people under the age of 19.
“At this point we have not been able to identify if these cases are linked to travel outside of the province. As our investigation continues, we may be identify a link to travel, but until that time we will make decisions based on their being community transmission of COVID-19 in P.E.I., and are erring on the side of caution, assuming that new cases are the highly transmissible Delta variant.”
The schools closed for the next three days include: Charlottetown Rural High School, Colonel Gray High School, Birchwood Intermediate, Glen Stewart Elementary, Lucy Maud Montgomery, Parkdale Elementrary, Prince Street Elementary, Queen Charlottetown Intermediate, Sherwood Elementary, Spring Park Elementary, Saint Jean Elementary, Stonepark Intermediate, Stratford Elementary, West Kent Elementary, Francois Buote, Grace Christian and Immanuel Christen.
Good call PEI keep our kids safe.
Ridiculous. Closing schools does more harm to the kids compared to COVID. Time to move on from coronavirus.
