The man travelled on Air Canada Flight AC8302 from Montreal to Charlottetown on Feb. 3.

Anyone who travelled on that flight is isolating and asked to monitor for symptoms.

Morrison says the man is Canadian but not a resident of P.E.I. and says the case will not be officially counted in P.E.I.’s total case count.

Prince Edward Island has three active reported cases of COVID-19 and has reported a total of 113 infections.
