16 people recovered since Thursday bringing the active number of cases to 116.
Ten people are in hospital, six are being hospitalized in this province, four are out of province.

Public Health will continue to use the AstraZeneca vaccine for those who are 55 and older and have provided informed consent.
Because supply is limited it’s being used primarily for those who are homebound and unable to access other vaccines.
