Three people are in the hospital due to the virus including one person in intensive care.

The province’s chief medical officer of health says public health measures must be lifted cautiously.

Dr. Janice Fitzgerald says the 28-day period for the current phase of the province’s reopening plan is essential.

She says people become frustrated when it seems like nothing is happening despite strict public health measures, but she says those measures are the reason the province is not seeing new cases.
