Health Minister John Haggie also stressing not to let the low number of new cases translate into relaxing your behaviour etc.
"We are lagging 2 weeks behind rest of Canada. If you want to know what COULD come here, look no further than Quebec and Ontario."

In the Eastern Health Region: 44 of the cases are linked to Caul’s funeral home. Dr. Fitzgerald is telling everyone who attended during (March 15-17) to stay home. If you test negative you must still complete your self-isolation. @NTVNewsNL#covid19nfld
It’s a shame that NL continues to be the only province that doesn’t cover routine eye exams for children. If you have concerns about your child’s reading be sure to discuss it with your Optometrist! @Johnrockdoc@PremierofNL https://t.co/nAi1wvmGbq
This has gone on far too long. When will the provincial government step up and offer some form of children’s vision coverage in NL? Why is this still an issue? @Johnrockdoc@PremierofNL
@DaraSquires @Johnrockdoc@PremierofNL Absolutely. Many provinces participate in the Eye See Eye Learn program where every child entering kindergarten receives a complete eye exam and, if necessary, eyeglasses.
NL is the ONLY province that does not cover eye exams for children. This needs to change! Children need good vision to succeed in school! @Johnrockdoc@PremierofNL
@Natasha20140039@Johnrockdoc@PremierofNL Public health nurses only do vision screenings which are not comprehensive and do not screen for problems with near vision. Difficulty with near vision would be much more problematic for school aged kids than difficulty with distance vision.
