P.E.I. will not be moving to the fifth and final phase of the province's reopening plan on Sept. 12, as originally planned, the province's chief public health officer announced Tuesday.

“When the Moving Forward plan was released in May, we estimated moving to Step 5 on Sept. 12, when there would be an easing of all public health and travel measures. But much has changed since that reopening plan was developed.” said Dr. Heather Morrison during Tuesday’s news update. “We know the Delta variant is a game changer, and our goal line is changing because the virus is changing.”

During Tuesday's news update, Morrison announced two new cases of COVID-19, as the number of active cases in the province rises to five. P.E.I. currently has five active cases of COVID-19. To date, there have been 235 positive cases of the virus on the island.Morrison says as of Saturday, 91.7 per cent of the province's eligible population has received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine, while 82.4 per cent of Islanders have received their second dose.
