Today as we celebrate Easter Sunday, Confederation Building will be lit in yellow to recognize all the essential workers in the province who continue to provide critical services to the people of Newfoundland and Labrador.

I thank you for your dedication and resiliency. You are providing safety, stability and comfort at a time when nothing is ordinary. Please accept my sincere gratitude.

While this is a stressful and challenging period, there will come a day when we have overcome the COVID-19 pandemic. That day will come even sooner if we all continue to follow physical distancing guidelines as outlined by our public health professionals and look out for our fellow Newfoundlanders and Labradorians.

Doing so will also ensure the safety of the essential workers who continue to go above and beyond on a daily basis.

To all residents of the province, I appreciate your efforts to flatten the curve. Newfoundland and Labrador has weathered many difficult events in our history and I am confident we will emerge from this pandemic as strong as ever.
