Screening, testing and isolation protocols remain in place, as numbers return to normal in the province's corrections system.
The number of people behind bars on P.E.I. has returned to pre-pandemic levels, but restrictions remain in place inside corrections facilities with the possibility of vaccinations for COVID-19 taking place in provincial jails in the near future.
The return to normal began last year, according to newly released figures from Statistics Canada.
In September, 115 adults were in custody in P.E.I., according to Statistics Canada. The numbers hit a low of 80 last April, in the initial weeks of the sweeping health restrictions that rolled out across Canada and much of the world, in response to the pandemic. The province's jail population in February of last year, before COVID-19 precautions began, was 114.
