Health officials confirmed one new case of COVID-19 in Newfoundland and Labrador on Sunday.
The new case involves a man between 20 and 39 years old in the Eastern Health region who recently returned from Manitoba.
To that end, officials are urging anyone who travelled on WestJet flights 306 and 328 which departed Winnipeg and Toronto en route to St. John’s on Sept. 21 to call 811 to arrange for testing.
Meantime, they say the man who tested positive has been self-isolating since arriving back in this province and has been following all public health rules. Contact tracing is underway and anyone considered a close contact is being advised to quarantine.
To date, 268 people have recovered while three people have died from the virus in Newfoundland and Labrador.
There are currently two active cases in the province.
