COVID-19 outbreak at Edmundston Regional Hospital

Public Health recommended Zone 4 (Edmundston region) move back to the Orange level of recovery due to an increasing case count, as well as an outbreak in at the Edmundston Regional Hospital.

“While this is a first for the residents of Zone 4 since the province came out of lockdown, it is the seventh time we have had a region move to the Orange level,” said Health Minister Dorothy Shephard. “The good news is that every time we have had to move a zone to Orange, we have been able to quickly get the situation under control and we are confident we will be able to do that in Zone 4. We will achieve this by working together, and by following the directives of Public Health.”

All other zones in New Brunswick remain at the Yellow level of recovery. Zone 4 will remain in the Orange level of recovery until the outbreak in a high-vulnerability setting is properly managed and after the risk of transmission to the community no longer appears to be high.

Dr. Jennifer Russell, the Chief Medical Officer of New Brunswick, also reported the eighth COVID-19-related death in New Brunswick since the pandemic began.
