Higgs says “the threat is real”, urges patience, diligence

Community transmission of COVID-19 is “a real concern” in New Brunswick, Premier Blaine Higgs said at a news conference Thursday.

He raised concerns around bars and “the younger demographic”, urging them to follow health regulations to allow businesses to operate.

“At this point, the community transmission has not been confirmed, but the threat is real, so we are acting quickly” by returning the Fredericton region to the orange phase.

Higgs also noted that at midnight on Thursday evening “anyone, from anywhere, returning to New Brunswick must isolate themselves for 14 days”.

It has taken note of the following exemptions: commercial vehicles and persons traveling for work, business, medical, childcare or childcare purposes.

The premier also noted that enforcement efforts have so far resulted in the issuance of 71 fines and 140 tickets for non-compliance.

“I know it’s not easy to deal with peace officers, but it’s all for our good,” he said.

The province is doing “so well,” Higgs said. “Let’s not lose it in the end. Be patient and follow the rules.”
