N.B. health officials are reporting one new case of coronavirus on Wednesday and eight active cases in the province.
The new case is no longer symptomatic and has passed the 14-day contagious period, the province said in a press release.
New Brunswick officials believe the new case is connected to the travel-related case announced on Tuesday.
Both cases are under investigation.
To date, the province has confirmed 178 cases of COVID-19 and reports 168 recoveries.
