CHARLOTTETOWN — Prince Edward Island joined New Brunswick on Tuesday in linking the emergence of the Omicron variant to the COVID-19 outbreak at St. Francis Xavier University that has spread through the region.
Dr. Heather Morrison, the province's chief public health officer, said there is at least one confirmed Omicron case on the Island connected to the cluster at the Antigonish, N.S., university.

Since mid-November, the province has had 94 positive cases of COVID-19, or about a quarter of its total since the pandemic started. There were three new cases reported on the Island on Tuesday, bringing the total to 36 active cases.
Morrison announced added public health restrictions will come into effect on Friday, including a return to limits of 20 people during indoor, private gatherings...
