Newfoundland and Labrador reports five more COVID-19 deaths
Newfoundland and Labrador is reporting five more deaths attributed to COVID-19 since the province's last update on Wednesday.
The latest deaths bring the province's total to 142 since the beginning of the pandemic.
Data posted Monday on the province's online dashboard indicates 34 people are in hospital due to COVID-19, including six patients in critical care.
The number of hospitalizations linked to the disease has increased by two since the last report.
The province is also reporting 723 new COVID-19 cases over the last five days, although the number of daily cases has steadily decreased from 225 cases on Thursday to 76 cases reported Monday.
However, testing is only offered to select groups, and the numbers do not reflect the province's actual caseload.
