The government needs to take immediate steps top reduce the transmission of COVID-19 in the province’s hardest hit communities, that according to New Brunswick’s Green MLA’s.
Provincial Green Party Leader David Coon says “The government should implement the Level 3 measures to limit public gatherings to slow the spread of COVID in communities with major outbreaks. “This will reduce community spread and should ease the pressure on our hospitals, enabling students to return to school more quickly.”
Saint John and Moncton currently have the most active cases.
MLA for Memramcook-Tantramar Megan Mitton says, “The government needs to be proactive to reduce community transmission so students can return to the classroom.”
“More needs to be done to protect healthcare workers, and all of those on the front-lines,” says MLA for Ken North Kevin Arseneau. “This includes providing paid sick days for all workers, distributing N-95 masks to reduce the risks of front-line workers contracting the virus, and making investments in our healthcare system to make it more resilient.”
