No deaths in N.L.'s latest COVID-19 report; virologist warns of hazards during 'big restart'
Province reports 319 new cases since June 29
Nick Ward · CBC News · Posted: Jul 06, 2022 1:19 PM NT | Last Updated: 5 hours ago

Newfoundland and Labrador reported 319 positive cases of COVID-19 on Wednesday, in its first weekly update since June 29.

There are currently eight people in hospital due to the virus, with one person in critical care. Four of those hospitalized are in the Eastern Health region, three in Central Health and one in Labrador-Grenfell Health.

As the number of local COVID-19 infections continues to rise, a St. John's virologist says he was wrong about the virus's projected spread.

Speaking with CBC's St. John's Morning Show, Rod Russell, a professor of virology and immunology at Memorial University, explained that as restrictions lift and the "big restart" of normal life gets underway, the virus and its variants are causing problems.

"The cases are creeping back up again now," said Russell.

"They're actually going up pretty fast. It's the big restart is what I've been calling it. We are living pretty normal now. Concerts are back on. Travel has rebounded to a level that the airlines didn't even predict. There's a lot less fear," he said...

CBC News · Posted: Jul 20, 2022 12:50 PM NT | Last Updated: 4 hours ago

3 more dead of COVID-19 in N.L. as hospitalizations climb
17 people are in hospital due to the virus
Malone Mullin · CBC News · Posted: Jul 27, 2022 1:20 PM NT | Last Updated: 3 hours ago

Three more people have died of COVID-19 in Newfoundland and Labrador over the past week, according to the Health Department's latest update on Wednesday.

Seventeen people are currently in hospital, with one person in critical care. The majority of those patients are in the Eastern Health region, with one person in a Central Health hospital and three patients in the Western Health region.

Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Janice Fitzgerald said earlier this month she expected an increase in hospitalizations as Omicron subvariant BA.5 variant circulates around the globe.

The newest deaths raise the province's total to 205 since March 2020, with 11 reported so far in July.

The Health Department is also reporting 407 new cases since last Wednesday. The province's numbers don't represent the true spread of COVID-19 in Newfoundland and Labrador, however, since the Health Department restricts PCR testing done by health authorities and the daily case counts don't include people testing positive on rapid tests they perform themselves...
