N.B. COVID-19 roundup: 19 new cases, Moncton cluster linked to cases in 3 zones - CBC.ca

Public Health reported 19 new cases of COVID-19 Friday and has determined that the cluster of cases in the Moncton region, Zone 1, is linked to many of the new cases in three other zones.

"We are seeing that the Zone 1 cluster is resulting in cases in Zones 2 [the Saint John region], 6 [the Bathurst region] and 7 [the Miramichi region] in our province right now, so it is imperative for New Brunswickers to get vaccinated," Dr. Jennifer Russell, the province's chief medical officer of health, said in a statement.

Ten of the new cases are in the Moncton region, which now has 62 of the province's 84 active cases.

They include:

  • Two people 19 or under
  • A person 20 to 29
  • Four people 30 to 39
  • Two people 40 to 49
  • A person 50 to 59

Five of the cases are contacts of previously confirmed cases and five are under investigation.

Here is a breakdown of the other new cases:

Saint John region, three cases:

  • Two people 19 or under
  • A person 30 to 39

Two cases are travel-related and one case is under investigation.

Fredericton region, two cases:

  • A person 30 to 39
  • A person 40 to 49

Both cases are under investigation.

Campbellton region, two cases:

  • Two people 70 to 79

Both cases are under investigation.

Bathurst region, two cases:

  • Two people 19 or under

Both cases are contacts of previously confirmed cases.

The Edmundston region, Zone 4, is the only one in the province with no active cases, as of Friday. (CBC)

There aren't any hospitalizations in New Brunswick because of the respiratory disease.

A total of 70.9 per cent of New Brunswickers aged 12 and older were fully vaccinated, up from 70.5 per cent  on Thursday, while 83.2 per cent had received at least one dose, up from 83.1.

Anyone aged 12 or older is eligible to get a vaccine and they can get their second shot 28 days after their first.

Several community vaccination clinics continue to accept walk-ins. A list is available online.

People can also book an appointment online through a Horizon or Vitalité health network clinic or through a participating pharmacy.

They are asked to bring their Medicare card, a signed consent form and, for those receiving a second dose, a copy of the record of immunization they received after getting their first dose.

New Brunswick has had 2,490 confirmed cases of COVID-19 during the pandemic. There have been 2,359 recoveries so far and 46 COVID-related deaths.

A total of 391,309 COVID tests have been conducted, including 1,112 on Thursday.

1st suspected COVID-related death in Listuguj

Listuguj First Nation has suffered its first suspected COVID-19-related death, according to a Facebook post Friday by the Listuguj Mi'gmaq Government.

"It is confirmed that an individual between the age of 30 to 35, died today. It is believed that this is a result of complications due to COVID-19."

The person was not vaccinated, according to the post.

"We are all in shock and join the family in mourning the loss of our community member," Chief Darcy Gray said in a statement, offering condolences to everyone affected.

The government will be reaching out to the family to offer support services, he said.

There are two active cases of COVID19 in Listuguj.

The Listuguj Community Health Services reminded residents of the importance of getting vaccinated and tested, even if they don't have any symptoms.

It has recommended testing for anyone advised to do so by public health and anyone who receives an exposure notification via the COVID Alert app.

Testing is also advised for anyone who had close contact with someone who has COVID-19 up to 48 hours before their symptoms appeared or, if they don't have symptoms, 48 hours before they got tested. Close contact is considered contact for more than 15 minutes, less than two metres apart, without a mask.

UNB, St. Thomas, Mount A won't mandate vaccines for students

The University of New Brunswick, St. Thomas University and Mount Allison University have decided against mandatory COVID-19 vaccines for students.

More students will be returning to campus for in-person learning in the next few weeks.

Several Canadian universities are requiring students to get a COVID vaccine before they start classes.

But UNB and STU say they are focusing on education to try to boost vaccination rates instead.

UNB is offering vaccination clinics on campus and letting students decide for themselves, said acting vice-president academic, Cathy Wilson.

"We've had weekly clinics," she said. "We're encouraging faculty, staff and students alike to get the vaccination. We're going to have a blitz during the first week of class. We have all sorts of social media campaigns, we're collaborating with our student union and our SRC [Students' Representative Council].

"So while we're not mandating vaccinations at this point in time, we are strongly encouraging it. And we are supporting our faculty, students and staff to to be vaccinated.

STU decided to take a similar approach after looking at what the World Health Organization and Public Health say about mandatory vaccines, as well as some of the ethical and legal issues related to it, said spokesperson Jeffrey Carleton.

"It became clear that the preferred option is to encourage vaccines, to make sure that you've exhausted all your approaches to making sure that people understand why vaccines are important," he said.

Mount Allison says on its website that it does not require COVID-19 vaccinations to return to campus, but it does "strongly encourage" all students and members of the university community to get both doses before returning to campus, for maximum protection.

"Sackville and area residents are already doing their part to 'Protect the Bubble' with most eligible residents already fully vaccinated," it says.

For students who are unable to get fully vaccinated before arriving on campus, Mount A is planning a vaccine clinic either on or near campus for the first week of September.

Some professors and students are urging the administrations to reconsider their position on mandatory vaccines.

Barry Blight, an associate professor of chemistry at UNB's Fredericton campus, has been vocal on the issue on social media. "@UNB….just saying. There's a wave coming. You get to choose. A vaccine mandate wave, or a delta variant wave. Easy choice IMO. Keep your staff and students safe. PLEASE," he posted on Twitter.

"Time to step up and be a leader our province."

Patrick Hickey, the outgoing student union president at UNB's Saint John campus, has accused the university of taking the "path of least resistance."

"Definitely will be asking for the reversal of this policy and implementation of mandatory vaccinations for all students, staff and faculty on campus next week with the board of governors," he tweeted.

UNB is still working on a database where students can self-declare their vaccine status, said Wilson.

Carleton noted the vaccination rate for STU students is much higher than the provincial rate for people in their 20s.

By the start of class it should be about 95 per cent, he said. As of Thursday, fewer than 53 per cent of New Brunswickers aged 20 to 29 were fully vaccinated, according to the COVID-19 dashboard.

Masks will be required at UNB and STU in indoor spaces. At Mount A, masks will be required for scheduled, in-person classes and at larger, in-person events on campus, such as music ensembles, performances, and speakers, according to the website.

Possible exposure suspends visits at Dumont psychiatric unit

All visits to the psychiatry unit (4B) at the Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont University Hospital Centre in Moncton are temporarily suspended due to a possible exposure to COVID-19, the Vitalité Health Network announced Friday.

The advisory does not indicate whether it was a health-care worker, patient or visitor who was positive.

It also doesn't indicate when the possible exposure occurred, but the ban on visits will remain in effect until further notice, it states.

Vitalité says it apologizes for any inconvenience this situation may cause.

What to do if you have a symptom

People concerned they might have COVID-19 can take a self-assessment test online.

Public Health says symptoms of the illness have included a fever above 38 C, a new or worsening cough, sore throat, runny nose, headache, a new onset of fatigue, and difficulty breathing.

In children, symptoms have also included purple markings on the fingers and toes.

People with one of those symptoms should stay at home, call 811 or their doctor and follow instructions.

Adblock test (Why?)
