Testing clinics are ongoing throughout Labrador-Grenfell Health and a special COVID-19 booster clinic has been set up in Happy Valley-Goose Bay this week. The news comes the same day the health authority announced it was shifting all resources to focus on pandemic response, cancer care, obstetrics, dialysis, mental health and emergency services. The health authority said in a statement that if people have an appointment not related to those services, they will be called to reschedule. In a Facebook update Monday, the Innu First Nation said the community now has 14 positive cases. At Monday's COVID-19 briefing, Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Janice Fitzgerald said the health authority is managing with their public health capacity.
