But chief medical officer of health, Dr. Jennifer Russell reminds us the pandemic isn’t over just yet.

Dr. Russell thanked New Brunswickers for their continued adherence to physical distancing and other practices that have slowed the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
She said it is important that these practices continue as elements of the “new normal” when restrictions now in place are gradually loosened.
“My advice to New Brunswickers has been clear and consistent since the pandemic began and it will not change in the weeks ahead,” said Russell. “Let’s not lose the advantage we have built over the last six weeks.”
