A new case of COVID-19 was reported in New Brunswick on Friday, when Public Health announced the return of offsite visits and others in long-term care homes.
The coronavirus case is a user between the ages of 10 and 19 in Health Area 2, the Saint John area. It is similar and the individual is isolate.
The total number of active shows in the province remains in seven.
Three of the active instances are in MonctonArray or Health Area 1, two active instances are in Fredericton, and an active case is in BathurstArray or Area 6. There’s an active case in Health Area 2, the Saint John area.
Offsite visits are now allowed for citizens of long-term care homes, the province announced Friday. Institutions may also introduce others to resident care assistance.
Restrictions have decreased in the existing yellow recovery phase, however, a circle of family members has yet to make an appointment to make stopovers on a resident, and the scales have not been daily.
“It was vital for us to comply with these restrictions to satisfy the wishes of citizens and their families as we proceeded to protect our most vulnerable citizens,” said Dr. Jennifer Russell, Medical Director of Health.
Public Health has stated that restrictions can be reintroduced if New Brunswick returns to red or orange recovery levels.
The province makes testing mandatory for academics arriving from outside Canada to attend a public school or postsecondary institutions. With all travelers beyond the Atlantic bubble, they will have to isolate themselves for 14 days and be examined on the 10th.
For academics who are already in Canada, but outside the bubble gates, testing will be voluntary.
Public fitness has said the tests are for others with only one or mild symptoms while practicing the fall. It will be made available to asymptomatic staff and volunteers in long-term care homes, First Nations network gyms, homeless shelters and correctional facilities.
