Newfoundland and Labrador is back down to zero active cases of COVID-19.
The Department of Health said today the two most recent cases reported this month are now considered recovered.
The cases involved two employees of the St. John’s-shot television series “Hudson & Rex,” who tested positive for the virus earlier in August.
Three people have died from COVID-19 in the province and 265 people have recovered.
Ten cases have been reported since the beginning of May.
News of the recoveries comes days before an order requiring mask-wearing in indoor public spaces enters into effect across the province.
Globe health columnist André Picard and senior editor Nicole MacIntyre discuss the many issues surrounding sending kids back to school. André says moving forward isn't about there being no COVID-19 cases, but limiting their number and severity through distancing, smaller classes, masks and good hygiene.
