No patients are in hospital and no one has died from the disease in New Brunswick.
On Friday, the day captured by results released on Saturday, the province conducted 397 COVID-19 tests. Since the outbreak began New Brunswick has conducted 17,426 tests.
The confirmation of no new cases continues a streak of good news for New Brunswickers after the province announced on Friday that it would immediately be moving into its “orange” phase, the next step in their COVID-19 recovery plan.
Under the new stage, offices, retail stores, restaurants and cultural institutions like libraries, galleries and museums are permitted to open.
However, all businesses must craft operational plans that detail how social distancing can be observed, as well as how those who are symptomatic or have travelled outside of the province within the last 14 days will be screened and kept out of their premises before they are permitted to open.

Masks will be required to be worn in public whenever physical distancing is not possible, with exemptions for children under two and anyone with a medical condition that makes them unable to wear one.
That requirement could apply to any public business, such as grocery stores, that feels it cannot maintain physical distancing.
“Businesses can open effective immediately, but each of them must decide when they are ready to open,” Premier Blaine Higgs said Friday.
“Some have been preparing for this moment and will be able to open right away. Others will need more time.”
