Newfoundland and Labrador has reported 63 cases of COVID-19 in the month of September so far, as officials prepare for a scheduled briefing on multiple ongoing clusters across the province Wednesday afternoon.
Chief Medical Officer of Health Janice Fitzgerald and Health Minister John Haggie will deliver the latest pandemic update in a live briefing at 2 p.m. NT.
The briefing can be streamed on the government of Newfoundland and Labrador's Facebook and Twitter accounts and on YouTube.
The most recent update came on Monday from the Department of Health, when it reported nine new infections, a mix of travel-related cases and cases related to previous positive cases.
Monday's recoveries outpaced new cases with 14, however. One person is in hospital due to COVID-19.
Three clusters remain under investigation by public health in the Eastern Health, Western Health and Labrador-Grenfell Health regions.
Parts of the Northern Peninsula also remain under Alert Level 3. The cluster in Roddickton-Bide Arm and surrounding communities comprised 15 cases as of Monday. Alert Level 3 requires people to wear masks in indoor public spaces and household bubbles can interact with up to 10 close, consistent contacts from outside.
