New Brunswick has gone another day without confirming a new case of COVID-19, and all previously announced cases are considered resolved.
That makes New Brunswick the only province in Canada to have no existing cases, joining Yukon and the Northwest Territories with zero active cases as of Saturday afternoon.
13 people have been hospitalized in relation to COVID-19 since the outbreak began, but all 13 have since been discharged and no deaths have been announced as a result of the virus.
Despite the downturn in cases, Premier Blaine Higgs and the province’s Chief Medical Health Officer, Dr. Jennifer Russell, have warned New Brunswickers not to become careless, and to continue to observe public health advisories such as physical distancing.
According to the province’s public health website, 416 COVID-19 tests were performed yesterday.
