The two week stretch of no new COVID-19 cases in New Brunswick has ended.
Public health says one new active case has been reported and it is under investigation.
Chief medical officer of health Dr. Jennifer Russell says the province has still been successful in flattening the curve but it has come at a cost.
“We are all aware of the economic costs, the impact that the state of the emergency has had on many businesses, entrepreneurs and employees. And that sacrifice that so many of you have made has made our success against COVID-19 possible and for that you have my undying gratitude,” Russell says.
The new active case is an individual under the age of 19 in the Campbellton region (Zone 5).
The province has conducted 21,474 COVID-19 tests to date.
On Friday, Premier Blaine Higgs is expected to announce that New Brunswick will be moving into the next phase (Yellow) of economic recovery.
The Yellow Phase includes the reopening of hairdressers, barbers, gyms, rinks, pool halls and dance studios.
In addition, the personal bubble would be expanded and gatherings up to 50 with physical distancing would be permitted.
