Kings County Memorial Hospital's inpatient unit and Prince Edward Home Sunrise Household have each declared a COVID-19 outbreak, according to a release from Health P.E.I.
Visitors are restricted to three partners-in-care for each patient, with only one partner-in-care present at a time at these locations.
Visitor restrictions will remain in place until the outbreak is declared over.
The KCMH's emergency department will operate on reduced hours from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. until the outbreak is over.
At a time when Canada is vastly expanding its child-care system, and just eight months after a major E. coli outbreak in Calgary child-care centres, an Alberta Health Services analysis shows the province is lagging in its rate of daycare inspections, falling far short of its guideline of at least two inspections per year at each of the province's licensed daycare centres.
