Public Health confirmed today that an individual between 60 and 69 in Zone 4 (Edmundston region) has died as a result of COVID-19. This brings the total number ...of COVID-related deaths in the province to 32. Marcia and I were deeply saddened to learn that another person has lost their life as a result of COVID-19, said Premier Blaine Higgs. On behalf of all New Brunswickers, I would like to share my sincere sympathies with this person’s loved ones. My thoughts and prayers are with the friends and family of this individual during this difficult time, said Dr. Jennifer Russell, chief medical officer of health. This tragic loss is a reminder that we must remain vigilant and continue to follow public health advice to protect ourselves and everyone around us from COVID-19.

Confirmed case at Garderie des P’tits Amis A positive case of COVID-19 was confirmed at Garderie des P’tits Amis in Edmundston and the families have been notified. The child-care facility will be closed today as contact tracing is carried out. If you or a family member have been in close contact with this case, you will be notified by Public Health for contact tracing. If you do not hear directly from Public Health, you have not been identified as a close contact. Exposure notification Public Health follows a standard process when addressing instances where the public may have been exposed to a case of COVID-19. In cases where record-keeping is able to identify anyone who may have been exposed, officials contact these individuals directly and do not issue a separate announcement. In cases where officials cannot be certain of exactly who may have been exposed to the virus in a given location, Public Health issues an announcement to alert those who could have been affected and provides instructions. Public Health has identified a potential public exposure to the virus at the following locations in Edmundston: Royal Bank, 48 Saint-François St., on April 1; and Shoppers Drug Mart, 160 Hébert Blvd., on April 5 at 11 a.m. Rules for post-secondary education students who are moving The following rules will go into effect at midnight tonight for post-secondary students and anyone helping them to move their belongings in and out of the province: People may enter New Brunswick for a period of no more than 24 hours to transport a student and/or remove belongings from a student’s residence. They are expected to observe all public health rules and minimize contact with others, except the student they are picking up. Anyone travelling to pick up a student in New Brunswick must register their travel online. As well, anyone returning to New Brunswick after picking up a student, must register their travel online. Staying longer than 24 hours is considered remaining in the province and the 14-day self-isolation period would then apply. Before travelling to New Brunswick, people should check with their home province to see if further restrictions apply upon returning home. New Brunswickers may enter Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia or Newfoundland and Labrador, as long as those provinces permit them to do so, for a period lasting no more than 24 hours to remove belongings from a student’s residence. They are expected to observe all public health rules and minimize contact with others while away but will not be required to self-isolate upon their return. Students returning to New Brunswick from other Atlantic provinces will not need to self-isolate upon their return. Anyone leaving New Brunswick to remove belongings from a student’s residence located outside the Atlantic provinces is ordered, upon their return, to self-isolate for 14 days and follow the directions of public health officials. As well, students entering from outside the Atlantic provinces are ordered to self-isolate for 14 days upon their return. https://www2.gnb.ca//corpor/promo/travel-registration.html Reminder of Yellow and Red levels Except for the area designated as Red level in Zone 4, all other zones and communities remain in the Yellow level, under the province’s mandatory order.

La garderie éducative sera fermée, aujourd’hui, afin de procéder à la recherche des contacts. Si vous ou un membre de votre famille avez été en contact étroit avec ce cas, la Santé publique communiquera avec vous dans le cadre de la recherche des contacts. Si la Santé publique ne communique pas directement avec vous, cela signifie que vous n’êtes pas considéré comme un contact étroit. Avis d’exposition La Santé publique suit une procédure standard lorsque le public pourrait avoir été exposé à une personne dont le résultat au test de dépistage de la COVID-19 est positif. Lorsque la tenue de registres permet de trouver et de confirmer l’identité des personnes qui pourraient avoir été exposées, les représentants de la Santé publique communiquent directement avec ces personnes et n’émettent pas d’annonce distincte. Lorsque les représentants ne sont pas certains d’identifier exactement les personnes qui auraient pu être exposées au virus dans un lieu donné, la Santé publique émet une annonce pour essayer de joindre toutes les personnes qui pourraient avoir été touchées et leur fournir des instructions. La Santé publique a recensé des sources possibles d’exposition aux endroits suivants à Edmundston : Banque Royale (48, rue Saint-François) le 1er avril; et Shoppers Drug Mart (160, boulevard Hébert) le 5 avril à 11 h.

Ils devraient respecter toutes les règles de santé publique et réduire au minimum leurs contacts avec les autres personnes, à l’exception de l’étudiant qu’ils viennent chercher. Toute personne qui se rend au Nouveau-Brunswick pour aller chercher un étudiant doit enregistrer son voyage en ligne. De plus, toute personne qui revient au Nouveau-Brunswick après être allée chercher un étudiant doit également enregistrer son voyage en ligne. Séjourner pendant une période de plus de 24 heures signifie demeurer dans la province, et la période d’auto-isolement de 14 jours s’applique. Avant de venir au Nouveau-Brunswick, les gens devraient vérifier auprès de leur province de résidence si des restrictions supplémentaires peuvent être imposées à leur retour à la maison. Les gens du Nouveau-Brunswick peuvent entrer à l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard, en Nouvelle-Écosse et à Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador à la condition que ces provinces les autorisent à le faire pour une période maximale de 24 heures afin de récupérer les effets personnels d’un étudiant à sa résidence. Ils devraient respecter toutes les règles de santé publique et réduire au minimum leurs contacts avec les autres personnes durant cette période, mais ils ne seront pas tenus de s’auto-isoler à leur retour. Les étudiants qui reviennent au Nouveau-Brunswick en provenance d’une autre province de l’Atlantique ne seront pas tenus de s’auto-isoler à leur retour. Toute personne qui quitte le Nouveau-Brunswick pour aller récupérer les effets personnels d’un étudiant dans une résidence située à l’extérieur des provinces de l’Atlantique doit, dès son retour, s’auto-isoler pendant 14 jours et suivre les directives des représentants de la Santé publique.

Revised- The AstraZeneca clinic scheduled for April 1 in Saint John is now full. Please continue to follow our page for updates on future clinics. Public Health... reported 14 new cases of COVID-19 today. The four cases in Zone 1 (Moncton region) are as follows: an individual 20-29; an individual 30-39; and two people 40-49. All four cases are travel related. The case in Zone 2 (Saint John region) is an individual 30-39 and is travel related. The case in Zone 3 (Fredericton region) is an individual 40-49 and is travel related. The eight cases in Zone 4 (Edmundston region) are as follows: two people 19 and under; an individual 20-29; an individual 50-59; three people 60-69; and an individual 70-79. All eight cases are contacts of previous cases. Throughout the pandemic, we have constantly adjusted our approach as we gathered new information, said Health Minister Dorothy Shephard. We will continue to respond nimbly and make decisions based on the recommendations of health experts to best protect all New Brunswickers. As the only thing that is predictable about this pandemic is its unpredictability, we must continue to be flexible, said Dr. Jennifer Russell, chief medical officer of health. There will be more outbreaks and other challenges along the way, and when they occur we must respond surely and swiftly. We ask all New Brunswickers to be flexible as well, because that is how we will keep one another healthy and safe. Revised case count Public Health is revising the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 reported in New Brunswick. An individual previously identified as a case in Zone 1 (Moncton region) has been removed from the confirmed list of cases due to the identification of false positive results. The lab is working to determine the cause of the false positive. When Public Health evaluates the results of its tests, it considers the epidemiological links and case information to determine the likelihood for these to be positive. In certain rare situations, such as this one, the results were not in keeping with the patient information or the COVID-19 activity in the area, so the samples were retested. The individual involved is being informed of the negative result. The number of confirmed cases in New Brunswick is 1,601. Since yesterday, seven people have recovered for a total of 1,444 recoveries. There have been 30 deaths, and the number of active cases is 126. Five patients are hospitalized including two in an intensive care unit. Yesterday, 1,406 tests were conducted for a total of 254,728. Details on cases and testing can be found on the GNB website.

To participate, you can register for an appointment online through the provincial government’s COVID vaccine website.

The addition of the new sample collection method will make testing easier for parents and children, said Dr. Jennifer Russell, chief medical officer of health. Although the nose swab is the recommended standard test for all New Brunswickers, the swish and gargle is available for children who are unable to receive the nasopharyngeal swab. Children from four to 11 years old can simply swish, gargle and spit some sterile salt water or saline solution into a tube instead of getting a nasopharyngeal swab. Parents and children are encouraged to watch a video of what to expect and practise how to swish and gargle before the test is done at the assessment site, said Russell.
