Two new cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed on P.E.I., but they won't count toward the Island's total, a news release from the Chief Public Health Office said Thursday. The latest cases are two people in their 50s who are close contacts of two individuals from other provinces who arrived on P.E.I. "These individuals are not permanent residents of P.E.I., therefore they will not show up in the P.E.I. case count; they will be included in the case count in their home jurisdiction," the release said. The province has had 208 cases of COVID-19, with two hospitalizations and no deaths.
