Newfoundland and Labrador is reporting one new case of COVID-19 on Thursday, connected to the recent cluster in the Eastern Health region.
The new case is a female under 19 years old and is a contact of a previously known case in the cluster — a member of the same household. The woman is self-isolating and contact tracing is complete. The Department of Health said the new case is the previously suspected case connected to a daycare, announced last week. Additional testing confirmed the case, said a spokesperson for the department.
