Newfoundland and Labrador reported 11 new cases of COVID-19 on Monday, following the closure of a high school in the St. John s metro area where two students tested positive for the virus over the weekend.
There are a significant number of contacts associated with the school cluster, officials say, and several hundred people are in isolation.
Monday s announcement comes as a setback for Newfoundland and Labrador, which has had relatively few COVID-19 infections since last spring, when the province brought in a controversial ban on incoming travel that the government credits for a consistently low COVID-19 caseload.
