The Department of Health and Community Services is advising the public that there are no new confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Rumours have been circulating in the province today about a child testing positive for COVID-19. This is false.

People are encouraged to stay informed and rely on trusted sources of information like the Provincial Government’s COVID-19 website. People are also reminded to be responsible when it comes to social media activity.
