N.B. health officials advise of potential exposure at Moncton McDonald’s

In a provincial COVID-19 update on Friday, New Brunswick health officials advised of a potential coronavirus exposure at a McDonald’s Restaurant on Morton Avenue in Moncton.

Public Health says those who visited the restaurant between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. from Sept. 28 to Oct. 5., should self-monitor for symptoms for 14 days.

If symptoms develop, New Brunswickers are advised to self-isolate and complete a self-assessment form or call 811 to get tested.

Chief of health Dr. Jennifer Russell said on Friday that 150 people are self-isolating in Moncton after 19 people tested positive for the virus earlier this week in an outbreak at the Notre-Dame Manor special-care home.

In addition, the Moncton region, Zone 1, is being transitioned back into the orange phase of the provincial recovery plan.
