Six new cases of COVID-19, all linked to a health-care worker who did not self-isolate after a trip to Quebec, have pushed back New Brunswick's reopening plans
"These are unprecedented times and we both believe it's best we return to our home ridings," said Guy Arseneault, who represents Campbellton-Dalhousie, and Gilles LePage, the member for Restigouche West. "We have no symptoms but will self-monitor."
Green party Leader David Coon said the adjournment until June 9 was unavoidable, given the fact that the legislature brings together 47 people from across the province. Last week, the province moved to the yellow phase of its COVID-19 recovery plan, allowing larger groups of people to meet and the opening of more businesses and services., which means a return to tighter restrictions on physical distancing.
