health officials signalled Monday that the end of the province's emergency response to COVID-19 is in sight as they announced 481 new cases over the weekend and 12 more deaths. Gustafson said public health officials are starting to plan a move away from managing COVID-19 as an emergency. and 72 per cent of people over the age of 12 have received a dose of COVID-19 vaccine, according to Gustafson. The key, she said, is making sure everyone gets a second dose, as that has proven to be the most effective way to prevent serious illness. Those people need to register now to receive an email or text notification of their second dose appointment.
