Shannex has confirmed two more cases of COVID-19 in its Parkland Saint John community.
The company announced Tuesday that one employee and one resident have tested positive at Tucker Hall.
Shannex said it is working with Public Health to investigate and conduct thorough contact tracing.
As a precaution, all Tucker Hall residents are isolating in their suites and visitation is not allowed at this time. Retesting of all residents and employees of Tucker Hall will take place on Tuesday.
“This is disappointing news for everyone at Tucker Hall, but especially for residents and families who have already suffered as a result of the first phase of this outbreak,” Derek Green, vice-president of New Brunswick operations for Shannex, said in a news release.
“This virus has been incredibly difficult to fight, but we are working closely with our partners at Public Health and we are doing everything we can to protect our community and get beyond this so families can safely be together again.”
Since an outbreak was declared at Parkland Saint John on Nov. 20, there have been 22 confirmed cases: 12 residents, nine employees and one non-Shannex employee.
The last reported case was on Dec. 16 and involved a Shannex employee.
