However, in a Friday briefing New Brunswick officials said all of the province’s health zones could move to a modified yellow phase by March 8, if the province continues on the path of fewer COVID-19 cases.
The new yellow phase will be more restrictive than the ones experienced by the province before the current orange phase. Under the revised phase, the household bubble will be expanded to a group of 15 people which will be referred to as a group of Steady15.
