A new case of COVID has been confirmed at the Shannex retirement complex in Millidgeville. The company says an employee working in the quarantine area was identified after testing on Friday.
The company says it proves the importance of retesting due to the length of the incubation period for the virus. More tests on residents and staff are planned for tomorrow.
