There are 19 new cases in the Atlantic Bubble today, all in NB; NB also reports 2 recoveries. The new cases are all in Zone 1 (Moncton region) and NB is declaring an outbreak at the Notre-Dame Manor special-care home in Moncton. 13 residents, 4 staff and 2 family members make up the new cases, 2 of the residents are in hospital. The care home has 112 residents and 56 employees. Public Health started an investigation last night, sending additional staff and resources to the facility. They started contact tracing and rapid testing of the facility’s residents and staff earlier today. All admissions and visits to the manor are on hold until further notice. All other facilities are to follow current public health guidance under yellow phase unless otherwise directed. The source of the outbreak is under investigation.

From the Press Release:
“New Brunswick has been successful over the last few months in keeping the spread of this disease contained,” said Premier Blaine Higgs. “We did this by continuing to take the precautions Public Health was asking us to take. Those low numbers caused some to wonder why we were still under a state of emergency and why all the precautions were still necessary. Today’s announcement is why. We have to do what is needed to protect our vulnerable family members and friends.”
“An outbreak is everyone’s greatest fear and please be assured that our overriding priority is the health and safety of the residents and those who care for them,” said Dr. Jennifer Russell, chief medical officer of health. “Today’s news is a clear reminder that we must all be vigilant and follow public health advice.”
