Newfoundland and Labrador is reporting 14 new cases of COVID-19 on Monday, with one of those in the Labrador-Grenfell Health Region. Monday's update confirmed a case in the Labrador-Grenfell region, which encompasses all of Labrador and the northern part of Newfoundland. The town council submitted its letter requesting point-of-entry testing to Fitzgerald on Monday, according to the town. Happy Valley-Goose Bay Mayor Wally Andersen said while the COVID case count for Labrador has been very low, point-of-entry testing is "the safest way we can protect our communities." The PCs and NDP have frequently said point-of-entry testing should be implemented in the province.
