COVID-19 on P.E.I.: What's happening the week of Feb. 27
CBC
Effective Monday, P.E.I. has discontinued the Vax Pass and is removing isolation requirements for unvaccinated travellers. That's a relief for some. For others, it's a cause for concern.
The province will be providing less frequent COVID-19 updates, with updates now scheduled for Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Public exposure and flight notifications have been paused by the provincial government.
Under current conditions, the province says all public places should be considered potential exposure sites.
As of Feb. 25, P.E.I. reported a total of 2,715 active cases with 715 new cases since the last update on Feb. 23. The average daily case count for the previous seven days was 226.
