Coronavirus outbreak: N.B. projects 13 COVID-19 cases in ICU as best-case scenario, worst case nearly 84

On Thursday, New Brunswick’s Minister of Health Hugh Flemming said that by the end of April, the province could see up to 13 cases of COVID-19 hospitalized in intensive care in the “best case” scenario. He said currently, the province has availability for further ICU hospitalizations — but that could change if New Brunswickers discontinue recommended safety measures, which could bring upwards of 84 patients into the ICU by the end of the month, as a projection.
