New Brunswick is reporting four new cases of COVID-19 Wednesday, all in the Miramichi region (zone 7).
The new cases are all temporary foreign workers, between 30 and 39 years old, who arrived in Moncton and began immediately self-isolating, prior to taking up their jobs in Miramichi.
On day 10 these four workers were tested and diagnosed. They will continue to self-isolate until cleared by Public Health. Because they were destined to work in the Miramichi region they are considered Zone 7 cases by Public Health. “Self-isolation at the time of diagnosis is the goal, which means the risk of transmission is the lowest it can possibly be, limiting the number of cases,” said Dr. Jennifer Russell, chief medical officer of health. “Our protocols are working.”
Four new cases of COVID-19, all connected. Temporary Foreign Workers who were isolating in Moncton. Blaine Higgs says he believes they were on day 9 or 10. Destined for Miramichi, but have been isolating in Moncton.
