New Brunswick is reporting one new case of the novel coronavirus on Thursday.
The case is a New Brunswicker from the Edmundston area who was staying in Quebec prior to noticing symptoms, according to the province.
A news release says the individual was “tested in that province and will remain there until recovered.”
Public health spokesperson Alysha Elliott says cases are reported based on home address, not location at time of testing.
Elliott says the individual is in Quebec temporarily and will not count towards Quebec’s number of confirmed cases.
