As of Tuesday, staff and children who are two years and older at early learning and child-care facilities will be required to wear masks in common indoor areas and when they are using transportation services offered by the facility, such as busing or vans.
These children will have to bring two clean face masks with them every day.
This change is detailed in an update to the Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of Communicable Diseases in Early Learning and Child Care Facilities.
“These changes will help protect New Brunswick’s youngest learners as we learn to live with COVID-19,” said Education and Early Childhood Development Minister Dominic Cardy. “While we wait for vaccinations to become available for children under 12, we continue to count on communities to help keep children healthy and safe. We strongly encourage everyone who is able to be vaccinated to do so, especially educators and other staff working with young children.”
