A Prince Edward Island hospital is suffering from a COVID-19 outbreak for the first time since the province dropped basically all pandemic restrictions at its hospitals earlier this year.

The Kings County Memorial Hospital in Montague is one of two on the eastern side of the island. It’s normally open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., but now closes at 4 p.m. as the COVID-19 outbreak in the inpatient unit puts additional stress on hospital operations.
