To date, 49,117 people have been tested for COVID-19 across the province — 249 of those in the last day.

Ahead of the opening of free flu vaccination clinics on Wednesday, Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Janice Fitzgerald tweeted about the importance of getting vaccinated during the pandemic.

"Now, more than ever, getting vaccinated is critical," Fitzgerald wrote. "As more people are immunized, the risk for everyone is reduced."

The province's next live COVID-19 briefing is scheduled for Wednesday.
