The province will hold a COVID-19 briefing Thursday at noon, according to a release from the government.
Premier Dennis King, Dr. Heather Morrison and Education Minister Natalie Jameson will be providing the update.
The briefing will be streamed here and on the CBC P.E.I. Facebook page.
During a briefing earlier this week, Morrison mentioned that a briefing on schools would be happening before week's end.
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.
