Meanwhile, the province has announced all 33 Service New Brunswick Centres will reopen by July 13.

The public is being reminded that most services can be accessed online or through Tele-Services at 1-888-762-8600.

SNB is examining options to offer other high demand services online such as address changes and taking the written drivers test.

“We are pleased that we are reopening all of our centres and that people are embracing the convenience of doing their transactions online,” said Service New Brunswick Minister Sherry Wilson. “Our plan is to increase our service offerings both online and through Teleservices to ensure fewer service disruptions as part of our preparations for a possible second wave of COVID-19.”

Customer care agents who normally work at Service New Brunswick have been answering more than 30,000 calls to the new COVID-19 information line throughout the pandemic.
