Both cases are self-isolating and are under investigation, according to New Brunswick health officials.

New Brunswick has urged residents across the province but especially in the Saint John and Moncton areas to reduce the number of close contacts to curb COVID-19 infections.

“This act will help health-care professionals balance the need for public safety and the need to maintain patient confidentiality,"

They say they have been able to identify the specific batch of about 85,000 doses of influenza vaccine and say providers will not administer further shots.

The report found that any potential harm that would be suffered if the testing sites were disclosed was 'speculative at best.'

A new report from the New Brunswick Nurses Union found that the quality of care in nursing homes in New Brunswick has fallen to 'unsafe levels.'

The N.B. Department of Health said potential public exposures may have occurred at Moncton Costco optical centre and St-Hubert Restaurant.

Just one case of COVID-19 remains active at this time.

Although the emergency department remains open Vitlaite is asking those who do not require urgent care to see their family doctor or nurse practitioner or visit a walk-in clinic. 

There have now been 167 cases of COVID-19 in the province; 163 people have recovered from the illness and two people have died.
