New Brunswick reports no new COVID-19 cases on Thursday and 1 additional recovery

New Brunswick health officials are reporting no new cases of the coronavirus after two outbreaks were declared in the province in the last two weeks.

The province reports one additional recovery on Thursday and 89 active cases of COVID-19.

In a news release, chief of health Dr. Jennifer Russell said the virus is still active in the province despite no new cases.

“Self-isolation is our best tool in shortening the duration of these outbreaks. We need to maintain physical distancing, practise good hygiene and support each other as we work our way through this pandemic together,” she said in the release.
