New Brunswick is reporting more than 62 per cent of residents over the age of 12 have now received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
As part of the province’s recently-announced reopening plans, the first target for “relaxing restrictions” is June 7, based on whether 75 per cent of eligible New Brunswickers have received at least one dose, and if hospitalizations are “manageable.”
The province is also reporting nine new cases of COVID-19 on Sunday.
Five cases are in Zone 1 (Moncton region) — four of which are close contacts of previously-confirmed cases, and one is under investigation.
