We have 16 new cases of COVID-19 in the province.
All but one are in the central zone- 11 close contacts and four related to travel.
Three of the new cases, which are school-based, were reported Thursday.
Public health officials say the close contracts are within a linked group of families and do not represent wide community spread.
The other case is travel-related in the eastern zone.
We’re up to 60 active cases province-wide after 15 more recoveries; one of those active cases is in the Inverness-Victoria-Richmond community health network.
Two people are in hospital, none in intensive care.
Provincial labs processed 3,321 tests Thursday.
