Hundreds more tests for COVID-19 have come back negative and none positive, as Prince Edward Island officials work to contain a small cluster of cases connected to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital. Those tests included 500 hospital staff, more than originally planned out of an abundance of caution. Morrison said the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and its emergency department remain fully operational and safe, and those who need care should feel comfortable going there. The province had moved to once-a-week COVID-19 briefings on Tuesday mornings as new cases dried up in May and June. But briefings have been more frequent due to six new cases in early July and the weekend confirmation of the cluster connected to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
