CHARLOTTETOWN—When Cheryl Roberts’ five-year-old daughter learned Friday that she could finally hug her grandparents again, she turned to her mom and said, “This is the best day of my life.”
On Friday, Prince Edward Island’s chief health officer, Dr. Heather Morrison, announced some COVID-19 physical distancing restrictions would be lifted, including that gatherings of up to five people are now permitted indoors. As an added treat for Mother’s Day weekend, Morrison said Islanders are now allowed physical contact—including hugs—with one or two people.
