N.B. reports no new COVID-19 cases for 15 days in a row

'We have come a long way, but we are still vulnerable,' says premier

There are no new cases of COVID-19 in New Brunswick for the 15th day in a row, according to the province.

The province put out its numbers on Sunday afternoon, showing no new confirmed cases.

On Saturday, the province announced that all of those with confirmed cases in New Brunswick had recovered. It became the first province to make that announcement.

But in a statement released on Sunday, Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Jennifer Russell said she doesn't want people to get complacent, especially as the weather gets nicer.

"As we begin the third week of no new COVID-19 cases, I recognize families want to get outside and spend more time together," said Russell.

"But it is crucial that everyone adheres to the rule about two households bubbling only with each other. Also, when outside, it is important to continue to practise physical distancing."

In the same press release, Premier Blaine Higgs said that the battle against COVID-19 isn't over.

"We have come a long way, but we are still vulnerable," said Higgs.

"We expect to have more cases. Our province is still under a state of emergency, and we must continue to follow the advice of Public Health."

New Brunswick is COVID-19 free, according to the latest numbers from the province.

Saturday marked the 14th straight day of no new cases in the province.

"Achieving this two-week milestone is significant," Dr. Jennifer Russell, the province's chief medical officer, said in a press release on Saturday.

"But I cannot emphasize enough how important it is for us to continue practising physical distancing, wearing face masks and staying home as much as possible."

Premier Blaine Higgs echoed the continued need for vigilance.

"We did not win the war yet and this victory may be short-lived," Higgs said in a statement.

"But what is important is that we find the balance between returning to a new normal while still staying on guard and protecting the health of our residents."

Of the 118 cases that were confirmed, all have recovered, the province says.

The province has performed 15,058 tests, with 4,835 in the Moncton area, 3,428 around Fredericton and 3,235 in the Saint John region.

Saturday's numbers make New Brunswick the only province in the country without a confirmed active case.

On Friday, there were still two active cases.

The province plans fewer press briefings from now on. They will be held on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

So if NB Borders remain closed, and Buses, Trains, and Planes are not bringing people in and out of NB, then Covid-19 shouldn't be able to spread anymore in NB; correct?. So in 2 weeks time we shouldn't have to worry about spreading Covid-19 in NB so long as we don't let travellers in and out of NB; am I right? I mean how else would it spread if we don't have any cases of Covid-19 ? Time to allow families to visit their family members in long term care homes again; thanks.

Keep all borders managed, wear masks, stay healthy and clean. One more covid clear week, then slow opening of businesses with borders still managed.

Sarah Brown

Reply to @Troy Murray: The benefits of wearing face masks when going out are questionable at best. Dr. Heather Morrison, PEI’s chief medical officer is not recommending that people wear non medical masks. I’d like to know what quantitative research Dr.Russell has used to say that wearing masks will be mandatory.

Troy Murray

Reply to @Sarah Brown: Common sense says a mask is better than no mask to limit what goes out and what comes in. With so many “experts” and different advice by doctors, who knows what to really believe. Just be careful, keep the distance, be clean and aware until an actual proven vaccine or treatment is available. Until then, keep those borders closed.

It makes no difference at all to me that there are foolish misguided people that poo-poo NB's success so far, but the fact remains all of us contributed to this success. As Premier Higgs quite rightly says this is NOT the end, by a long shot. We can have a New Normal but it won't be the same as the Old Normal until this virus is permanently put in the ground and buried deep! Even then I suspect none of us will ever again feel complacent about our health or even the seasonal influenza. All of us I suspect will be like those persons who have been mugged and beaten badly and are therefore always looking over their shoulder.

great...must be the closing of the quebec border???? but cbc report the statistics using the numbers of citizens in each provinces...NB compared to Ontario ie.....NB government has done brilantly for sure, but how does a premier of ontario do the same things??

Fred Brewer

Reply to @maggie short: It is too late for any Premier to copy-cat what Mr. Higgs and his team have accomplished. While population density plays into it, you have to look at how quickly NB declared a state of emergency (after only 7 confirmed cases) and how quickly schools were closed, how quickly businesses were closed, and how quickly a snitch line was put in place to report those who were not following the rules and endangering others. This and many other policies were put in place quickly and decisively. I am not a big fan of Premier Higgs; I did not vote for him and I generally don't like his government, but kudos are deserved for him and his team for how they handled the pandemic in NB.

SarahRose Werner

Reply to @maggie short: New Brunswick has some significant advantages over Ontario. We don't have any large cities or international airports. Our borders are shorter and therefore easier to control. We also were able to keep the virus out of our long-term care facilities, where it would almost certainly have caused a significant number of deaths. And as Fred says, our provincial government acted quickly.

Bob Smith

Anything you see and hear about NB is the result of plain dumb luck, nothing more, nothing less.
If Ontario had a lot less population density (like NB), and a poor economy that didn't require international connections (like NB), you folks would have the same kind of luck.

Fred Brewer

Reply to @Terry Tibbs: You only have to look at other provinces that are very similar to NB to see that your are wrong when you say NB's outcome is luck. Yes Ontario has more population which is exactly why they should have done what NB did but even sooner than when NB did it.

With long-term policy experiments, Higgs shatters COVID-19 consensus

Premier sees aggressive COVID-19 measures as opportunity for bold change to New Brunswick life

Jacques Poitras · CBC News · Posted: May 01, 2020 6:39 PM AT

Premier Blaine Higgs expressed an openness to redesign parts of the economy and government beyond the short-term response to COVID-19. (Government of New Brunswick/Submitted)

COVID-19 has turned New Brunswick into a laboratory in more ways than one.

As the province tries relaxing some restrictions after containing the first wave of the disease, Premier Blaine Higgs is experimenting with new approaches to government policy, experiments he might not be able to attempt in a normal, non-pandemic time.

"For me it's about really taking this opportunity, in a crisis, where innovation is often key," he said this week. "Let's make it happen.

It was an echo of the famous 2004 comment by Nobel Prize-winning U.S. economist Paul Romer: "A crisis is a terrible thing to waste."

The New Brunswick government has quickly rejigged many of its essential services, finding workarounds to accommodate physical distancing requirements.

But this week it became evident Higgs envisions more than just clever short-term life hacks. His government sees the pandemic as an opening to re-engineer entire economic sectors — and even some aspects of governance itself.

Labour Minister Trevor Holder says the pandemic has created an opportunity to 'change our economy ... once and for all.' (Government of New Brunswick/Submitted)

Labour Minister Trevor Holder said Thursday that the crisis represents a chance "to really change our economy here in New Brunswick once and for all. … If there's ever been a time to do it, now is it."

Political scientist J.P. Lewis of the University of New Brunswick in Saint John said politicians of all stripes are citing the pandemic to argue for policies they've been advocating for years, and Higgs's Progressive Conservatives are no different.

"When everything gets broken down, you pick and choose," he said.

Change at an unprecedented pace

Early in the pandemic, the innovating was relatively prosaic. The New Brunswick Medical Society agreed to allow doctors to "see" patients by phone or video chat.

Provincial officials had wanted to try it for years but with COVID-19, it won approval in a week. Since the start of March, 84 per cent of all doctor visits have taken place virtually.

'The sky's kind of the limit': COVID-19 ushers in new era of e-health, says Higgs

But this week, the full scope of the premier's ambition for change was on display as he grappled with the first major controversy of his COVID-19 response: a ban on temporary foreign workers hired each season by farms, seafood processing plants and trucking firms.

Higgs said the ban was necessary to lower the risk of imported cases of the disease and said his government will help employers fill vacancies by hiring unemployed New Brunswickers, summer students and foreign workers already here.

Cracks in political unity appear, but Higgs holds firm on temporary foreign worker ban

Industry groups acknowledged their dependence on the workers is a long-standing structural challenge worth discussing — but said a last-minute ban was no way to deal with it and could cripple them in the coming weeks.

Revolutionizing the agricultural sector

The premier acknowledged the change will rattle the industries, but he characterized criticism from Liberal Leader Kevin Vickers and Green Leader David Coon as simply political.

"I appreciate it's tough," he said. "It's tough when we start to get different views in the public and it's not all going to be rosy. I know that. That's the nature of the business we're in."

But Higgs talked about a time beyond COVID-19, touting the idea of "a five, or 10, or 15-year plan" to redesign the agricultural sector and make the province less reliant on food imports.

"I'm saying to these farmers, 'Let's look at your business in a way that we've never looked at it before. Let's find a long-term view," he told a CBC Information Morning Fredericton phone-in.

Listen to Premier Blaine Higgs's full phone-in segment on Information Morning Fredericton.

Premier Blaine Higgs answers questions from across the province about COVID-19 and the restrictions in place. 38:28

Notably, he said Thursday he wants an overhaul of the sector "that we can support from one government to the next, so that it has a long-term future."

That concept has been a constant refrain throughout Higgs's political career: good policies are routinely discarded when a new party forms government, he argues, preventing them from ever bearing fruit.

Holder was even bolder, saying the Tories want to "to revolutionize" seafood processing, going beyond the short-term replacement of foreign workers to look at "how we change these industries once and for all."

He suggested some seafood plants may be able to take on new value-added processing outside the regular seasons, allowing seasonal workers to work year-round.

Is now the time?

Economic development consultant David Campbell said seasonal work and labour shortages have been a chronic problem and if employers can't fill vacancies, foreign workers have to be available as a last resort.

He also said it's a risk to disrupt that supply of workers, and "lots of people would suggest this isn't the time to do it." And it's not clear enough New Brunswickers will be willing to take those labour-intensive jobs.

Watch Premier Blaine Higgs explain the ban his rationale to ban temporary foreign workers.

But "I do appreciate any effort they're making to change the approach in this province, because we could theoretically see thousands more New Brunswickers working than we actually do see.

Higgs's ban was ostensibly endorsed by an all-party cabinet committee on COVID-19 that includes Vickers, Coon and People's Alliance Leader Kris Austin.

But Coon said the decision was "rushed" and the committee is "no longer sufficient" to debate such issues.

Liberal MLA Roger Melanson says wholesale changes to the New Brunswick economy is not part of the mandate for the all-party committee struck to deal with COVID-19. (CBC)

Liberal MLA Roger Melanson agreed that talk of "revolutionizing" the processing sector and developing five-year plans for agriculture goes far beyond the mandate of the committee.

"This all-party committee was the right thing to do when it came to health issues and this pandemic," he said, but "not all government decisions and policy decisions are about this pandemic."

Both parties called for the legislature to sit again soon, and on Friday, Speaker Daniel Guitard gave notice MLAs will convene May 26. It's not clear if it will be another abbreviated one-day sitting, like in April, or the resumption of normal proceedings.

Higgs draws line between low cases, party co-operation

Higgs was clearly unenthused this week about the legislature resuming, saying its noisy, public clashes are an example of old-fashioned partisan politics that complicates the long-term planning he favours

"It has caused us to be very volatile in our abilities to see something through, because so many of the focuses have been based on a short-term duration."

Higgs even attributed New Brunswick's ability to contain the virus to the all-party committee, saying the low case numbers were "directly related" to that co-operative approach.

Two people still have active cases of COVID-19 in New Brunswick (CBC News)

"We haven't been firing political barbs at each other or in the public in any sort of way," he argued, allowing public servants "to do their jobs and do whatever is necessary to protect citizens."

Coon suggested an all-party legislative committee of MLAs be put in place, but Higgs said while he respects the importance of the legislative process, shifting the discussion from closed-door meetings to full public view might not be appropriate for this unique challenge.

"We have very open and frank discussions [in the committee] but those are discussions with cabinet confidentiality," he said. "When you open up the legislative assembly — do you question people back and forth based on what you discussed in cabinet?

"It adds a complexity to it. We need to think about how that best works."

Final say rests with Higgs

Lewis said Higgs's stance is "on-brand" with his non-politician reputation, and, coupled with high public approval ratings for provincial premiers handling the pandemic, he has the leverage to insist on sticking with the committee.

"It would really be for Vickers or Coon to break" from the format, he said.

Of course, Higgs's preference for the all-party committee model may be because he gets the final say. Other party leaders don't have a veto.

Food, trucking industries race to reverse provincial ban on temporary foreign workers

"The opposition leaders need to remember they're having the input they are because Higgs invited them to the COVID cabinet committee," former PC minister Troy Lifford tweeted in response to Coon's complaints.

"At the end of the day Higgs and his true cabinet make the decisions."

Even when the legislature resumes, Higgs vowed to resist a return "to the political days of the past.

We need to move the province forward in a collective vision, a vision that is built for future generations, not for the current day. I don't want to lose that."

Whether that's as noble as it sounds depends on whether you agree with the increasingly fraught decisions Higgs and his government are making.

As the temporary foreign workers controversy shows, broad consensus on those decisions won't always be possible.

If you share the premier's worldview, then this pandemic may well be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make New Brunswick better.

And if you don't — or even if you just think this isn't the time for policy experiments and revolutions — well, that's politics.

We certainly need to give a huge bump to our Agricultural sector , and there are way too many seasonal workers in Fisheries where they're working half a year and drawing pogie the other half

Reply to @David Amos: Not sure WHO the business people you're referring to who whouldn't be happy with Higgs plan of promoting NB made products not only for the province but elsewhere ! The status quo has been a huge failure and FINALLY a government has stepped forward and indicated NB IS BETTER THAN THAT !! COVID has presented the province with an opportunity to make changes that have been necessary for decades ! Me first ideas will get no one anywhere , if you know what I mean !!!

POLITICAL DOGMA

Harper's a lapdog for Bush, Martin's a German shepherd,
says former N.B. premier

Canadian Press

To hear former New Brunswick premier Frank McKenna tell it, political debate is going to the dogs.

In Regina, Sask., to help Finance Minister Ralph Goodale win re-election, Mr. McKenna suggested at a rally that opposition leaders offered up a dog's breakfast to voters during the televised leaders debates.

Mr. McKenna described NDP Leader Jack Layton as "an annoying yappy little terrier," Bloc Québécois Leader Gilles Duceppe as a "French poodle," and Conservative Leader Stephen Harper as "a lapdog for George Bush."

Showing his true dogma, Mr. McKenna had nothing but praise Tuesday for his pet choice. The prime minister, Mr. McKenna said, was "a noble German shepherd standing up for the interests of Canada."

"What does Jack Layton have to lose? He can yap away. No one expects him to win Very much .. . No one attacks him because he's irrelevant."

David Amos

Methinks that many would agree that much to Higgy's chagrin his old buddy Troy Lifford is a pretty funny dude N'esy Pas?

Reply to @David Amos: Methinks Higgy et al should agree that the hilarious part is that even though Lifford's questionable friend blocks me in Twitter illegally his other buddies do not Hence I read everything N'esy Pas?

While the specific actions to be considered will need to pass the smell (among other) tests, it is an excellent idea to have the debate. I don't think there are many New Brunswickers who will dispute the fact that there are things that are broken.

Reply to @Tracy Glendenning: Methinks the ghosts of two famous lawyers R.B. Bennett and J. P. Humphrey both of whom came from Fundy Royal where Higgy lives would agree that is an understatement as we all watch many folks and businesses suffer in his Police State N'esy Pas?

Raising a Little Hell- Lively Debate Provokes Crowd
By Erin Hatfield

"If you don't like what you got, why don't you change it? If your world is all screwed up, rearrange it."

The 1979 Trooper song Raise a Little Hell blared on the speakers at the 8th Hussars Sports Center Friday evening as people filed in to watch the Fundy candidates debate the issues. It was an accurate, if unofficial, theme song for the debate.

The crowd of over 200 spectators was dwarfed by the huge arena, but as they chose their seats, it was clear the battle lines were drawn. Supporters of Conservative candidate Rob Moore naturally took the blue chairs on the right of the rink floor while John Herron's Liberalswent left. There were splashes of orange, supporters of NDP Pat Hanratty, mixed throughout. Perhaps the loudest applause came from a row towards the back, where supporters of independent candidate David Amos sat."

The Unconventional Candidate
By Gisele McKnight

"FUNDY—He has a pack of cigarettes in his shirt pocket, a chain on his wallet, a beard at least a foot long, 60 motorcycles and a cell phone that rings to the tune of "Yankee Doodle." Meet the latest addition to the Fundy ballot—David Amos."

"What he’s fighting for is the discussion of issues – tainted blood, the exploitation of the Maritimes’ gas and oil reserves and NAFTA, to name a few.

"The political issues in the Maritimes involve the three Fs – fishing, farming and forestry, but they forget foreign issues," he said. "I’m death on NAFTA, the back room deals and free trade. I say chuck it (NAFTA) out the window."

Cracks in political unity appear, but Higgs holds firm on temporary foreign worker ban

Opposition MLAs say rushed decision shows need for the legislature to sit, debate COVID-19 response

Jacques Poitras · CBC News · Posted: Apr 30, 2020 6:22 PM AT

Premier Blaine Higgs stuck by the ban on letting temporary foreign workers into the province, saying government would work with industry to fill the jobs going empty. (Government of New Brunswick/Submitted)

Two provincial party leaders are now distancing themselves from a ban on temporary foreign workers that Premier Blaine Higgs claimed they had endorsed.

Liberal Leader Kevin Vickers said in a statement that a special all-party cabinet committee, which includes him and the leaders of other parties in the legislature, wasn't given the full picture on the ban.

And Green Leader David Coon called for the province to allow exemptions to the ban on temporary foreign workers, saying the decision was "rushed" because of the imminent arrival of a planeload of workers.

Asked Thursday if he was considering exemptions, Higgs said the province was working with employers to identify potential hires among "the many people who are currently available within the province."

Premier Blaine Higgs responds to a question on whether he would make any exemptions for farming or fish processing after those sectors criticized his decision to close borders to foreign workers. 1:12

The premier claimed earlier this week that the all-party committee, which includes him, key cabinet ministers, Vickers, Coon and People's Alliance Leader Kris Austin, had agreed on "a path forward" to limit temporary foreign workers.

But Coon cast doubt on that Thursday.

"Depends on what you call consensus, I guess," he told reporters. "If there is general consensus, it seems that decisions are made. Unanimity is not part of the decision-making process."

Green Party Leader David Coon said the decision to impose the ban was 'rushed.' (James West/Canadian Press)

Coon chose his words carefully because he and other party leaders took an oath of confidentiality when they agreed in mid-March to sit on the committee. At one point he assured reporters that "I'm not trying to evade your question."

But he said he made "various suggestions" to the all-party committee to deal with temporary foreign workers, who Higgs said presented a risk of bringing COVID-19 cases into the province.

Calls for the House to sit

Two opposition MLAs who aren't part of the committee say the decision and the secrecy surrounding the committee show that the legislature needs to resume work soon.

"We want to be collaborative," said Caraquet Liberal MLA Isabelle Thériault, but "there's a fine line because we're an opposition and we're questioning the government. I think we will maybe have to sit in the near future to have debates and ask questions."

Green MLA Kevin Arseneau said as an individual MLA, "I kind of feel like democracy has been on hold."

He said the COVID-19 crisis has reached the point "where some decisions … are going to become ideological, so we need opposition to make sure everyone's held to account [with] many points of view."

Vickers was not available for interviews Thursday but issued a statement calling for the legislature to sit "as soon as possible."

Coon told reporters the four party house leaders were to meet Thursday afternoon to discuss a possible date for sittings to resume. He said the all-party committee is no longer enough to ensure transparent decision-making.

Food, trucking industries race to reverse provincial ban on temporary foreign workers

Higgs said the legislative process will have to start up, but he also wants the parties to continue working together and not "resort back to the political days of the past."

He attributed the comments from Vickers and Coon to "pressure" they are getting from within their caucuses and described that as traditional partisan politics that get in the way of solutions.

He also said New Brunswick's encouraging COVID-19 case numbers show the all-party approach is working.

'A sense of urgency'

Coon said members of the committee were told that a planeload of foreign workers would soon be en route to the province and "there was a sense of urgency to make a decision around that."

Higgs confirmed that was referring to a flight that was to pick up 175 workers in Mexico on Tuesday night and fly them to Halifax overnight. Some workers were bound for seafood processing plants in Nova Scotia and others were set to come to New Brunswick.

"Literally people were going to be boarding planes very, very, very shortly heading to New Brunswick," Coon said. "From a health perspective, there were understandable concerns about a significant number of people all coming in at once."

Industry officials and politicians raised concerns for using untrained labour to replace experienced workers. (CBC)

Higgs said it's true the decision was hurried, but he said given outbreaks in meat processing plants in Canada and in Singapore due to foreign workers, a quick decision was justified.

"We can stop and we can think about it … or we can react and [then] find a way to mitigate the issues for businesses around the province," Higgs said.

One of the processing plants that was going to employ the workers, Downeast Cape Bald Packers, said this week they were already well prepared to respect all COVID-19 health protocols.

N.B. COVID-19 roundup: Return to new normal is 'not a race,' top doctor says

Coon said at the time of the meeting he had no information on the status of other temporary foreign workers and didn't know whether farms that had been approved to hire them had them in place. That information "would have been helpful," he said.

Vickers said in his statement the condemnation of the decision from the farming and fishing sectors "did not reflect what we were told on Monday night in terms of the consultation that was done with the industry and their labour-market needs."

He said he made that point at a new meeting of the all-party committee Wednesday night. But the statement didn't say what reaction he got or whether the party is calling for a reversal of the ban or for exemptions.

Tapping into local labour

Meanwhile, debate continued Thursday on whether it's realistic, as Higgs has suggested, that unemployed New Brunswickers and students on summer break can fill some of the 600 job vacancies that were to be filled by foreign workers.

Higgs said the province will launch a website next week aimed at matching potential workers with those vacancies.

But Thériault agreed with industry officials who said this week students will lack the training to step into those positions. "You don't become a farmer or a fish or seafood processor overnight."

New Brunswick brought in nearly 1,700 temporary foreign workers in 2019, according to Statistics Canada. (Submitted by John Jaques)

She said laid-off workers who go to work in processing plants or on farms could quit to return to their regular jobs once the economy begins to restart in the coming weeks.

"Those people are going to say, 'Thank you for the experience, but I'm going back to my work,'" she said. "That puts the fish plants and the farmers in the same position they're in right now: where are they going to find those people?"

Coon repeated his view that the province should subsidize farm salaries by $4 per hour to encourage more of them to fill the shortage. Higgs said Thursday he would look at that as part of a broader plan to grow the farming sector to increase food security.

Looking for federal support

The federal Conservatives, meanwhile, are calling on Ottawa to cover the full wages of any students who take jobs on farms this summer to fill labour shortages.

On Wednesday the Conservatives insisted that legislation setting up a new fund for students who lose summer work because of COVID-19 include a requirement that they "attest" to searching for work before they get the money.

The Conservatives also persuaded MPs to adopt a motion calling for the government to provide incentives to students who take farm or fisheries jobs.

Conservative MP Dan Albas said the government should match the $263 million in the existing summer job program to fully subsidize students who work in agriculture and fisheries.

Students who collect emergency COVID-19 aid must attest they're looking for work

"We believe there are lots of opportunities in our food supply chain where students can operate," he said. "We need to have an all-hands-on-deck approach."

But Albas refused to say whether Higgs was right to impose an across-the-board ban on temporary foreign workers.

Even if the Conservative proposals were adopted, Thériault said, it was doubtful that enough students would be able to fill all the positions.

"We can give it a try, but we need experienced people," she said.

Since 2004 I have talked to a lot of businessmen, farmers, truckers and food processors and the various associations who speak for them to no avail. However methinks my comment about my contact with Downeast Cape Bald Packers yesterday made Higgy et al sit up and pay attention N'esy Pas?

Deja Vu Anyone?

"Methinks Higgy et al probably already know that I enjoyed my conversation Nat Richard (I truly hope his Grandfather calls me sometime soon) If Mr Richard takes my advice I suspect Higgy will flip flop in a heartbeat N'esy Pas?

"Two weeks ago, we described the situation in the seafood industry as a perfect storm," said Nat Richard, manager of corporate affairs for Downeast Cape Bald Packers in Cap-Pelé.

"That was before this decision."

Richard learned about the decision Monday night and said he was stunned."

How can these alleged "leaders" support bringing TFW's here and treating them horribly just to satisfy the greed of these owners while putting seniors in danger. Shameful behavior. BTW, I don't like Blaine Higgs but he seems to be the ONLY one that cares about our seniors and the general population. Duly noted.

N.B. COVID-19 roundup: 13 days of no new cases, and flu numbers down as well

2 people in New Brunswick have active COVID-19 cases out of 118 confirmed cases

Elizabeth Fraser · CBC News · Posted: May 01, 2020 12:45 PM AT

COVID-19 isn't the only virus dwindling across New Brunswick — the province has also seen a drop in flu numbers.

According to a weekly provincial report, there have been five positive influenza cases in New Brunswick during week 14, from March 29 to April 4.

"Early on when we did see those physical distancing measures in place, I believe we did see a drop," said Dr. Jennifer Russell, New Brunswick's chief medical officer of health during Friday's news conference.

The flu season starts the last week of December and the first week of January.

So far this season, 267 influenza associated hospitalizations have been reported and there have been eight deaths. This time last year, the season saw 525 influenza associated hospitalizations and 25 deaths.

The province says there have been a total of 2,344 influenza cases that have been reported so far this season, just over 200 less than this time last year.

New Brunswick has seen no new cases of COVID-19 for the 13th straight day, the province announced Friday, while warning again that people can't relax yet.

"That is very good news but we are still actively searching for cases of COVID-19," Russell said.
She said Public Health is asking residents to look for symptoms. Earlier this week, the province expanded its testing protocols for COVID-19.

Russell said 525 tests were processed in the last 24 hours.

There are still two people in the province with active cases of the respiratory illness, but neither is in hospital.

Of the 118 confirmed cases, 66 are travel-related,42 are close contacts of confirmed cases and10 are the result of community transmission.

Premier won't open borders to Prince Edward Island before July

New Brunswick families might not be the only ones bubbling together this summer.

Premier Blaine Higgs has been adamant about keeping provincial borders closed to prevent the spread of COVID-19, but he's talked about a possible exception for Prince Edward Island.

On Friday, he suggested a timeframe for opening up the border with P.E.I., which has only seen one case of COVID-19 in the past two weeks.

"I don't see it happening before July," Higgs said during a call-in show on Information Morning Fredericton.

Higgs and Prince Edward Island Premier Dennis King have been monitoring coronavirus activity in each other's provinces since the virus arrived in Canada this winter.

There have been 27 confirmed cases of COVID-19 on P.E.I., with 24 considered recovered, Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Heather Morrison announced Thursday. New Brunswick, with 118 confirmed cases, almost all of them resolved, hasn't had a new case in 12 days.

Higgs said he and King have joked about bubbling together if these conditions continue.

"That's a big bubble and we're not quite there yet," Higgs said.

Physical barriers set up at skateboard parks in Saint John

The City of Saint John is installing physical barriers at its two skateboard parks and reinforcing closures at dog parks because some residents aren't following the province's emergency declaration

The city said instances of overcrowding, and not respecting the two-metre physical distancing rules have been reported.

As a result, piles of stone are being placed within the Station One and Market Place West skate parks.

Additional measures are also being taken to reinforce closures of municipal dog parks. This includes Rockwood, Chown, Rainbow, and Little River Reservoir dog parks.

Barriers are being set up at Station One and Market Place West.

"We've worked hard to slowly gain access to our public spaces," read a news release issued by the city.

"Certain parks and green spaces will remain open as long as users respect provincial restrictions around physical distancing and good hygiene. Failure to follow the phased approach as directed by the province will bring back the restrictions we have all been working so hard to lift.

Travellers visiting New Brunswick asked to return home

Premier Blaine Higgs said travellers trying to visit New Brunswick are being asked to turn around, including visitors arriving at airports.

"It's not a new policy," he said. "We are watching our borders from all areas."

Higgs said he's heard of cases where people have travelled to New Brunswick for "non-essential reasons" and have been forced to return home at their own expense.

"These steps are necessary to keep New Brunswickers safe."

With boating season just around the corner, the province will also be monitoring points of entry into the province by water.

Premier Blaine Higgs said Friday province will be watching to make sure no one comes in by boat. 0:41

"That activity is not going unnoticed," he said. "It will be monitored and we will be ensuring that boat traffiic is not ferrying people from other provinces or, let's say, from other jurisdictions in New Brunswick undetected. We will be watching for that.

He said residents will still be allowed to go boating, as long as they're doing so along or with people in their bubble family.

Farmers markets to remain closed

Farmers markets will remain closed for a while yet, says Premier Blaine Higgs.

And when the markets do reopen, the "rules around operation will be very, very different," he said during CBC New Brunswick's call-in on Information Morning Fredericton on Friday.

"It will have to be watched very closely because that certainly is a mass gathering and we have to be very careful about how we distance."

Dr. Jennifer Russell, chief medical officer of health, explains when farmers markets in New Brunswick might be allowed to reopen. 0:30

Later Friday, Dr. Jennifer Russell, the chief medical health officer, said the reopening of farmers markets would not be part of the next phase of recovery.

Farmers markets were one of the first businesses to stop when the province shut down in mid-March.

Vendors adapt to life without Boyce Farmers Market

Some farmers have turned to selling their products online in the meantime, so customers can still buy their essentials.

Higgs said he's aware people want to return to their normal lifestyle, but the province can't lose sight of maintaining a low number of cases.

"Let's not forget that we are in a pandemic, that we still have a health crisis and we need to make decisions that reflect that and reflect our ability to continue with zero cases and no deaths."

People could be allowed to return to seasonal homes in New Brunswick

Premier Blaine Higgs said there's a possibility property owners in neighbouring provinces like Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island could soon be allowed into New Brunswick to take up residence in their seasonal homes.

"We're not at that phase yet, but it's a consideration that merits us looking at how we could make that work, but it won't be for several weeks at this point."

Premier Blaine Higgs said residents are free to visit their camps and cottages. (Government of New Brunswick/Submitted)

Higgs said the province's next steps for reopening include examining how daycares can safely reopen, allowing elective surgeries and opening retail stores.

"This is no time to throw caution to the wind."

Higgs said residents are also permitted to visit their camps and cottages in New Brunswick.

Physical distancing in the world of sports

Premier Blaine Higgs said Friday that New Brunswick public health and the province's Department of Health will eventually look at ways athletes can play sports in a way that meets the guidelines set out by Public Health.

Last week, the province rolled out its recovery plan, laying out when different restrictions could be lifted and businesses could reopen.

Higgs said there likely wouldn't be organized sports until a vaccine is developed, which could be over a year away

In the future, he said, sports groups can propose different ways to meet the guidelines from Public Health, which will then decide whether it's safe for those sports groups to proceed.

Schools consider restrictions for reopening in the fall

If New Brunswick gets a second wave of COVID-19, it's possible students will have to continue their studies online in the fall, Education Minister Dominic Cardy said Friday.

"We can't predict what the virus is going to do," he said.

Online learning could be extended for students if second wave of COVID-19 hits New Brunswick, Education Minister Dominic Cardy says. (Photo: CBC News)

He said the Department of Education is still trying to strengthen online learning for students.

"It's absolutely possible that we will have further periods when we go back to a stricter lockdown for hopefully brief periods of time."

New Brunswick schools will need to take extra precautions if they reopen in the fall

Since most school hallways are narrow, maintaining physical distancing will be difficult but still required.

Cardy said schools will likely have to tape arrows to the floor to signify what directions students and teachers can walk, similar to grocery stores.

He said more stringent measures like temperature checks before entering schools might also be enforced.

"All those are things that folks in the department are working on," Cardy said.

Legislative assembly to return to work

The New Brunswick Legislature will resume on May 26.

Premier Blaine Higgs said he isn't sure what the assembly will look like in terms of physical distancing, but he expects members will rely on an electronic process, similar to that of the federal government.

"We will be working towards that in some fashion," Higgs said.

What to do if you have symptoms

People concerned they might have COVID-19 can take a self-assessment on the government website. Symptoms include fever, a new or worsening cough, breathlessness, sore throat, headache and runny nose.

More symptoms were added to the list this week, including: a new onset of fatigue, a new onset of muscle pain, diarrhea, and loss of sense of taste or loss of sense of smell. In children, purple markings on the fingers or toes are also a symptom.

If you have two of these symptoms, you should:

Stay at home.
Call Tele-Care 811 or your doctor
Describe your symptoms and travel history.
Follow instructions.

Methinks folks should read this again real slow Higgy et all know its a small wonder why I self isolate every winter because of my bum ticker and no Medicare Card N'esy Pas?

"The flu season starts the last week of December and the first week of January.

So far this season, 267 influenza associated hospitalizations have been reported and there have been eight deaths. This time last year, the season saw 525 influenza associated hospitalizations and 25 deaths.

The province says there have been a total of 2,344 influenza cases that have been reported so far this season, just over 200 less than this time last year."

David Amos

Methinks many farmers and their customers are hoping that the Harvest Moon will shine over a different political mandate overseeing how we do business in New Brunswick N'esy Pas?

"Farmers markets will remain closed for a while yet, says Premier Blaine Higgs.

And when the markets do reopen, the "rules around operation will be very, very different," he said during CBC New Brunswick's call-in on Information Morning Fredericton on Friday.

"It will have to be watched very closely because that certainly is a mass gathering and we have to be very careful about how we distance."

David Amos

Methinks a the very least Higgy's Police State should refund these folks what they paid in properties taxes N'esy Pas?

"Premier Blaine Higgs said there's a possibility property owners in neighbouring provinces like Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island could soon be allowed into New Brunswick to take up residence in their seasonal homes."

David Amos

"Methinks doing a tally of the votes should prove interesting if the opposition decide to table a motion of non confidence in Higgy and his cohorts N'esy Pas?

"The New Brunswick Legislature will resume on May 26.

Premier Blaine Higgs said he isn't sure what the assembly will look like in terms of physical distancing, but he expects members will rely on an electronic process, similar to that of the federal government."

Methinks Dominic Cardy needs to back offon his butter tart intake Its blatantly obvious that the former NDP leader is enjoying his new powers within his buddy Higgy's Police State to the max N'esy Pas?

"It's absolutely possible that we will have further periods when we go back to a stricter lockdown for hopefully brief periods of time."

New Brunswick schools will need to take extra precautions if they reopen in the fall.

Since most school hallways are narrow, maintaining physical distancing will be difficult but still required.

Cardy said schools will likely have to tape arrows to the floor to signify what directions students and teachers can walk, similar to grocery stores.

He said more stringent measures like temperature checks before entering schools might also be enforced.

"All those are things that folks in the department are working on," Cardy said."

Since 2004 I have talked to a lot of businessmen, farmers, truckers
and food processors and the various associations who speak for them to
no avail. However methinks my comment about my contact with Downeast
Cape Bald Packers yesterday made Higgy et al sit up and pay attention
N'esy Pas?

Deja Vu Anyone?

"Methinks Higgy et al probably already know that I enjoyed my
conversation Nat Richard (I truly hope his Grandfather calls me
sometime soon) If Mr Richard takes my advice I suspect Higgy will flip
flop in a heartbeat N'esy Pas?

"Two weeks ago, we described the situation in the seafood industry as
a perfect storm," said Nat Richard, manager of corporate affairs for
Downeast Cape Bald Packers in Cap-Pelé.

"That was before this decision."

Richard learned about the decision Monday night and said he was stunned."

David Amos
Methinks Higgy et all cannot deny that all my phone calls emails,
tweets blogs and comments are beginning to bear some fruit N'esy Pas?

David Amos
Methinks a lot of folks are listening to Higgy right now The most
interesting question for me that he responded to came from the
strawberry farmer about foreign labour N'esy Pas?

>> > We’re the Union of Taxation Employees (UTE), representing more than
>> > 25,000 employees of Canada Revenue Agency. We exist to maintain and
>> > advance the workplace rights of our members – a big task in today’s
>> > federal public service!
>> >
>> > It’s a job we take very seriously. The UTE believes in fostering a
>> > constructive relationship with Agency management. But, we’re
>> > aggressive in protecting our members’ interests – from the office
>> > floor to Parliament Hill.
>> >
>> > As a progressive, innovative union, our vision extends into the
>> > future. At the same time, our roots go back more than half a century.
>> > In 1943, employees working for the then Taxation Department first
>> > organized themselves into the Dominion Income Tax Staff Association.
>> > Then, as now, federal workers recognized that unionizing is the best
>> > insurance policy against unfair and unreasonable employer actions.
>> >
>> > In 1966, with the advent of free collective bargaining in the federal
>> > public service, the UTE joined the Public Service Alliance of Canada
>> > (PSAC) as the “Taxation Component”. Our 1987 convention voted to
>> > adopt our current name. With the passage of the CCRA Act, we moved
>> > from a department of the federal public service to an agency. This
>> > Agency was proclaimed on November 1, 1999. On December 12, 2003, the
>> > Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (CCRA) became the Canada Revenue
>> > Agency (CRA).
>> >
>> > UTE members work in such areas as Taxpayer Services, Debt Management,
>> > Audit, Finance and Administration, Human Resources, Information
>> > Technology (IT), Compensation, Enforcement, Appeals, and the
>> > Legislative Policy and Regulatory Affairs Branch (LPRAB). They fall
>> > into either the SP or the MG Classifications.
>> >
>> > These groups are covered under one collective agreement (the Program
>> > and Administration Services agreement).
