At a provincial update on Monday, Dr. Jennifer Russell, New Brunswick’s chief medical officer of health, said the resident at the Tucker Hall long-term care facility at Parkland Saint John, was in their 70s and previously tested positive for the novel coronavirus.
Russell confirmed that another individual — who had also tested positive for COVID-19 — died last week at the Tucker Hall long-term care facility but that it is not being ruled as COVID-19-related.
