P.E.I. reports one new death related to COVID-19 Tuesday, 10 people in hospital
Prince Edward Island reported one new death related to COVID-19 Tuesday, involving a person 80 years old or older.
Dr. Heather Morrison, the province’s chief public health officer, says there are 10 people in hospital being treated for COVID-19, two of whom are in intensive care.
“As we continue to see COVID-19 related deaths, ICU and hospital admissions in P.E.I., we are sadly reminded of the serious outcomes that are related to the virus and the impact on individuals and families,” said Morrison.
“We must continue to follow public health guidance, such as masking and getting vaccinated when eligible to slow the spread of the virus and to protect ourselves, our loved ones and our Island community from these serious outcomes.”
According to Morrison, there are two other people in hospital who have tested positive but are being treated for illnesses other than COVID-19 (COVID-19 was not the reason for admission).
