New Brunswick Public Health is reporting two new cases of COVID-19.
The latest cases are someone in their 40’s and someone in their 60’s and both are from the Campbellton region, Zone 5.
One case is linked to a close contact of a previous case in the outbreak.
The other case is linked to Manoir de la Vallée, a long-term care home in Atholville.
Public Health says a Quebec resident has also tested positive for COVID-19 and is linked to the same facility but the case will be counted in Quebec’s statistics.
“Especially with the recent warmer weather, I remind New Brunswickers to remain vigilant and watch for symptoms since COVID-19 is going to be with us for a long time,” said Dr. Jennifer Russell, chief medical officer of health.
New Brunswick now has 15 active cases of the virus and all are in Zone 5.
Five patients remain in hospital with one in an intensive care unit.
As of today, 31,791 tests have been conducted.
