Morrison said the new case is not believed to be linked to a recent COVID-19 cluster in P.E.I. or to a Charlottetown seniors’ residence where a worker had tested positive.On July 4, the P.E.I. government had announced three confirmed COVID-19 cases, including a woman in her 20s who worked at Whisperwood Villa. They were the first cases in the province since late April.

Two other P.E.I. residents later tested positive for COVID-19 after coming into contact with that same man, public health officials said. Morrison is expected to provide more information about the new COVID-19 case later Sunday or Monday morning.
