ST. JOHN'S, N.L. --
An untraceable cluster of COVID-19 cases in Newfoundland and Labrador has the Progressive Conservative party shaking its finger once again at the timing of the provincial election.
Tory Leader Ches Crosbie said Thursday in a statement Liberal Leader and incumbent Premier Andrew Furey must explain again why he chose a Feb. 13 election day, sending voters to the polls in the middle of winter and during a global pandemic.
Crosbie said he was prompted to pen the release after chief medical officer of health Dr. Janice Fitzgerald said officials were unable to identify the source of a COVID-19 infection that had bloomed into a cluster of four cases.
