With 40 COVID-19 hospitalizations, N.L. hits another record high
Province also reporting 2 more deaths since last update
CBC News · Posted: Mar 28, 2022 12:53 PM NT | Last Updated: 1 hour ago
Forty people are in hospital due to COVID-19 in Newfoundland and Labrador, another record high for the province.
The previous record was 33, set Friday. Seven people are in critical care. Earlier this month, when 20 people were hospitalized, Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Janice Fitzgerald said the province's health-care system could handle double or triple that load.
"Certainly it's difficult to put a number on it because sometimes it depends on the level of care that's needed as well, but I think our system certainly would be able to manage between 40 and 60 cases," she said March 9, as the province was preparing to drop almost all public health restrictions related to the pandemic.
Officials have said the province's health-care capacity for COVID-19 hospitalizations is around 60 people.
The Health Department is also reporting two more deaths, raising the total since March 2020 to 103, including 37 deaths in March alone...

6 more COVID-19 deaths in N.L., raising 8-day total to 24
But COVID-19 hospital patients have dropped 2, down to 38
CBC News · Posted: Apr 01, 2022 1:10 PM NT | Last Updated: 2 hours ago
Six more people in Newfoundland and Labrador have died of COVID-19 over the past two days, raising the province's total to 116 deaths since the pandemic began.
Of that total, 24 deaths have happened over the past eight days..
Of the six new deaths announced Friday by Public Health, three people were in the Central Health region, two were in the Eastern Health region, and one was in Western Health.
Most of them were elderly: three were 80 or older, two were in their 70s, and one was in their 60s.
The number of hospitalizations has dropped slightly — from a high of 40 earlier this week to 38 — but there are still 11 people in critical care, unchanged since Wednesday.
Public Health is also reporting 688 new cases of the virus since Wednesday's update — 299 on Thursday, and 389 on Friday.
That number, though, is not an accurate reflection of the spread of COVID-19 in the province, as the Health Department has restricted who is eligible for a PCR test.
New subvariant in N.L.
The Health Department said between 35 and 40 per cent of samples screened in the province are now BA.2, a subvariant of the original Omicron virus...

Newfoundland and Labrador will begin offering a first COVID-19 booster dose for people between 12 and 17 years old starting April 25, Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Janice Fitzgerald said Wednesday.
Fitzgerald said the decision is based on the evolving epidemiology of COVID-19, recommendations made by Canada's National Advisory Committee on Immunization on Tuesday and the potential decrease in protection from vaccines over time.

CBC News · Posted: Apr 20, 2022 12:53 PM NT | Last Updated: 6 hours ago
Newfoundland and Labrador reported 10 deaths due to COVID-19 on Wednesday, the largest increase of deaths in a single update to date.
It brings the total deaths in the province to 152 since the beginning of the pandemic, 42 of them so far this April alone.
Of the 10 deaths that occurred since the last provincial update on Monday, six people were 80 years old or older, two were in their 70s and two were in their 60s...
...Thirty-one people are in hospital due to COVID-19 as of Wednesday's update, with seven of those in critical care.
In data provided to CBC News by the Department of Health, 448 people had been admitted to hospital because of the virus between March 14, 2020 and April 14, 2022.
The Omicron variant plays a major factor in that number. Since Omicron's onset in December up to April 14, 350 people had been admitted to hospital.

The province is also reporting 368 new cases since Monday's update — 189 on Tuesday and 179 on Wednesday.
