ST. JOHN’S, N.L. – There is one new case of COVID-19 in Newfoundland and Labrador today and officials say the infection is related to travel.
Officials say the man in his 50s is in the eastern region of the province, and he returned home from work in Alberta.
He is now self-isolating and contact tracing is underway.
Meanwhile, health officials are still trying to chase down the source of an infection in the central region of the province.
The tiny town of Harbour Breton on Newfoundland’s southern coast has been in a state of partial lockdown since that case, and another one linked to it, were announced over the weekend.
Mayor Georgina Ollerhead said the cases involve two workers at the community’s health centre, and she’s relieved that no other infections have been confirmed at the centre or elsewhere in the town this week.
