CBC
P.E.I. Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Heather Morrison will present a briefing on the COVID-19 pandemic Thursday.
The briefing is scheduled to start at 12:30 p.m. AT. You can watch the briefing live here or on the CBC P.E.I. Facebook page.
Hospitalizations in the province, at three patients, have remained unchanged this week as the province continues to confirm record numbers of new cases daily.
This is the second briefing this week. Morrison announced at her Tuesday briefing, which also featured Premier Dennis King, that there would be another today.
P.E.I. currently has 1,378 active cases of COVID-19 and has confirmed a total of 2,084 since the pandemic began.
P.E.I.'s Public Schools Branch is looking for 50 substitute bus drivers, and it'll be recruiting at three job fairs on Saturday, June 8. The job fairs are located at the Atlantic Superstore in Montague, Royalty Crossing in Charlottetown, and the bus parking lot of Three Oaks Senior High in Summerside. All three run from 9 a.m. until noon. Dave Gillis, the director of transportation and risk management for the Public Schools Branch, said the number of substitute drivers they're hiring isn't unusual. "We are always looking for more. Our drivers tend to have an older demographic," he said.
