A Special Measures Order is being introduced to move the Lewisporte to Summerford area of the province to Alert Level 4 effective tonight (Friday, May 21) at midnight.

This will give Public Health the ability to carry out their investigation and conduct community wide testing in the area, while reducing the risk of onward transmission and spread.

Please refer to the Provincial Government COVID-19 website to review the restrictions associated with Level 4.
