There are 5 new cases in the Atlantic Bubble today, 1 in NS, 1 in NFLD & 3 in NB; NS reports 2 recoveries, NFLD reports 7, NB reports 8. Ontario numbers are updated. The new NS case is in the Central Zone and is a close contact to a previously reported travel-related case. The new case in NFLD is a female in the Eastern Health region between 50-59 years of age and is travel-related. The individual, a resident of NFLD, returned to the province from work in Alberta and has been self-isolating since arrival. 2 of the NB cases are in zone 3 (Fredericton) and related to international travel. The other case is in zone 5 (Campbellton) and is under investigation. This means there is 1 active case in PEI, 5 in NS, 60 in NB and 5 in NFLD, none known to be related to the Atlantic Bubble itself. In NS, 53/65 (82%) NS deaths are from Northwood and 57/65 (88%) are from long term care in general (11 different facilities have reported cases, none have an active case). Yesterday, 285 tests were completed with 1 new case reported.


From the Press Release:
You can choose your friends, but you can’t choose your family - except during a pandemic,” said Dr. Jennifer Russell, chief medical officer of health. “We want all New Brunswickers to keep their close contact numbers to a minimum. Help New Brunswick and the Atlantic bubble fight off the second wave. Let's work together but apart.”

More than 2,400 tests of asymptomatic individuals took place over the weekend in Campbellton and Dalhousie. Test results being completed at the microbiology laboratory at the Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont University Hospital Centre in Moncton will take 24 to 48 hours to process.
