People in self-isolation in connection to a case at a Charlottetown daycare on Thursday would have begun their second round of tests on Monday, but there are no new cases in connection with that incident yet.

The province told CBCNews two people have been chargedin connection to that case. The two people are close contacts of one another, and were both charged for failure to self-isolate.

It added it is now posting all enforcement data to its website, and will update the numbers on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

P.E.I. currently has 10 active cases and has seen a total of 194. There have been two hospitalizations and no deaths.
