CHARLOTTETOWN — Health officials are reporting three new cases of COVID-19 in Prince Edward Island today.

They say the latest cases involve someone in their 40s, a person in their 20s and a child under the age of 12.

The child attends Eastern Kings Early Learning Academy, which was closed today and will remain closed Tuesday to allow time for testing and enhanced cleaning.

There are 22 active cases of COVID-19 in P.E.I.

As a followup to cases announced over the weekend linked to École La-Belle-Cloche, close contacts, staff and any students experiencing symptoms were asked to attend a testing clinic today.
