Province reverses decision to make masks mandatory in public buildings
No new cases of COVID-19 on Saturday
· CBC News · Posted: Jun 06, 2020 3:20 PM AT
No new cases of COVID-19 were recorded in the province on Saturday. It is the second straight day for no new cases. (Government of New Brunswick)
The New Brunswick government is backtracking on a decision to make wearing masks mandatory to enter public buildings.
The new rule was set to come into effect on Tuesday, but the province has scrapped the precaution just one day after the rule was announced.
"Cabinet has reviewed the decision and it was not the intent to place an additional expectation on businesses or the public regarding wearing a face covering in a public space," said a news release from the province on Saturday.
The province does say people must wear masks if they are in a public space where social distancing cannot be maintained.
Children under the age of two, children attending a licensed early education and child care facility and anyone unable to wear a face covering for medical reasons would have been exempt from the new rule.
All active cases are in the Campbellton region.
Four people with the virus have been hospitalized, but no patients are in ICU.
To date 33,335 tests have been conducted and 121 people have recovered from the virus.
The province recorded its first COVID-19 related death two days ago.
The
cluster of cases in the Campbellton region has been linked to a medical
professional who travelled to Quebec for personal reasons and didn't
self-isolate for 14 days upon his return.
As of Friday, indoor gatherings of up to 10 people in homes are allowed across the province, except in the Campbellton area, which is under the orange phase of the province's recovery plan.
Outdoor gatherings of up to 50 people and religious services are also allowed.
Weddings and funerals with up to 50 attendees are permitted. Long-term care facility residents are allowed to visit two people outdoors with physical distancing.
Low-contact sports are allowed. Swimming pools, saunas, gyms, waterparks, yoga and dance studios, rinks and indoor facilities, pool halls and bowling alleys can now reopen.
Public Health has recorded 136 confirmed cases of COVID-19 since the pandemic began in March.

My family and I have been with you both through this..., I'm not surprised Higgs and Jennifer took a step back as you just have to go on line and see all the folks that were with them through this Covid 19 crises and then forcing us to wear a mask. You really rattled and pull the wrong chain on this one..We are the only place in Canada where you have to wear a mask and the safest place in North America !! Jennifer and Blaine we all get it and Covid 19 isn't going away as we will live with this for a while until their is a cure..Wearing a mask should be our decision not yours..Who was smoking Canibis when this decision was made and who was in the room.?? .And who knew what when ?? Don't push your good fortunes and take your overwhelming support as a given.!! You can lose it as quick as you earned it.. That being said I applaud you both for having the backbone to admit your mandatory decision to force us to wear a mask was wrong and having the courage to back track.

Reply to @Janice
small: "Wearing a mask should be our decision not yours" - I basically
agree with what you're saying with one small caveat. If I want to enter
a store and the storeowner asks me to wear a mask, I'll put on a mask
and do it with a smile. Their store, their rules - and *my* choice
whether or not to patronize that store vs going elsewhere or doing
without the item I'd thought of buying.

I must give credit to the government for reversing this ill advised decision. Looks like logic has prevailed - a rare case in political matters. Wear a mask if you want to, but leave it as a personal choice.

Reply to @Dave Ladd:
for me it has nothing to do with choice. I can't because of a medical
ailment. I am already harassed when I go out for essentials because I
can't wear a mask. This change would have made my life even worse. I
would have to discuss my PERSONAL health history with strangers
including the doorman at these stores to gain entrance.

Not too many of us has doctors, lawyers, economists, and spin doctors to aid us in our decisions, but Mr Higgs does, and somehow he has great difficulty getting things right.

Face coverings mandatory to enter public buildings starting Tuesday
No new cases of COVID-19, 1 more person has recovered

New Brunswickers must wear a face covering to enter buildings open to the general public, starting Tuesday, the province has announced.
The state of emergency declaration was revised Friday to require people to wear a mask that covers their mouth and nose upon entering buildings, such as stores and restaurants.
"Once inside the building and if you are able to maintain physical distancing of two metres, the mask can be removed," the government clarified in a tweet shortly after 6 p.m., nearly four hours after the news release was issued.
Children under the age of two, children attending licensed early education and child-care facilities, and anyone unable to wear face coverings due to medical issues are exempt from the order.
Up until now, face coverings were only required in locations where keeping a physical distance of six feet, or two metres, was not possible.
Small price to pay
Matt Savage, who owns Savage's Bicycle Centre in Fredericton, said the new rule is a small price to pay to be able to operate his store."If that's what you have to do to open your doors, I'm OK with that," he said."And I think you'll find that most businesses will be as well. They're going to do what they have to do. It's better than the alternative, right?"
Savage doesn't think the mask requirement will keep customers away either. He said they've been very patient since his shop reopened.
"There are times when we've had to have people waiting outside when we couldn't accommodate them. So, I think most people are really on board with this stuff and really want to do their part."

If anything, the masks will serve as a "nice reminder that we're not really out of the woods from this thing yet," said Savage.
"It almost feels like we're back to normal to a certain degree, [but] we've had to really remind customers that we're still in this."
Savage, who is also the president of Downtown Fredericton Inc., said businesses will have to plan for the new requirement over the next few days. But he doesn't expect that will be a problem.
"I think you have to be adaptable and you just kind of roll with the punches," he said.
Businesses with any questions should contact WorkSafeNB, the government said.
People should not wear face masks all the time or for extended periods, chief medical officer of health Dr. Jennifer Russell said Wednesday. 1:35
New Brunswick recorded no new confirmed cases of COVID-19 on Friday, and one more recovered patient, as most of the province progressed to next step of the yellow phase of the COVID-19 recovery plan, which involves a further loosening of restrictions.
It comes one day after New Brunswick had its first COVID-19-related death.
New Brunswick has 14 active cases of the respiratory disease, all in the Campbellton region, also known as Zone 5.
Four people remain in hospital, including one person in intensive care.
Officials have linked the outbreak, which began on May 21, to a medical professional who travelled to Quebec for personal reasons and returned to work without self-isolating for 14 days.
Eased restrictions
Effective Friday, indoor gatherings of up to 10 people in private homes are permitted across the province, except for the Campbellton region, which remains under the stricter orange phase of recovery.Outdoor gatherings of up to 50 people, and religious services with up to 50 people, including weddings and funerals, are also permitted, indoors or outdoors, with physical distancing.
Residents in long-term care facilities are allowed to have up to two visitors outdoors, with physical distancing, provided the facilities are able to accommodate them.
"Low-contact" team sports are permitted.
In addition, the following businesses are now allowed to open:
- Swimming pools, saunas and waterparks, with a limit of 50 people in each activity area.
- Gyms, yoga and dance studios.
- Rinks and indoor recreational facilities, with a limit of 50 people in each activity area, and limit of 50 spectators.
- Pool halls and bowling alleys.

On Thursday, Daniel Ouellette, 84, a resident at the Manoir de la Vallée in Atholville, who tested positive last Sunday, died at the Campbellton Regional Hospital at 5:10 a.m.
Four other elderly residents and four employees of the long-term care facility have also tested positive. One of the infected health-care workers lives in Quebec and will be counted in that province's statistics.
New Brunswick has recorded 136 confirmed cases of COVID-19 since the pandemic began in March.
As of Friday, 121 people have recovered.
To date, 32,954 tests have been conducted.
ECGs at Moncton Coliseum
Beginning Monday, all scheduled outpatient ECG exams at the Moncton Hospital will be temporarily relocated to the Moncton Coliseum, at 377 Killam Dr., the Horizon Health Network announced on Friday."This temporary relocation will allow Horizon to increase the volume of services while maintaining physical distancing requirements," the regional health authority said in a statement.
Horizon will contact patients with scheduled appointments for basic ECG exams, Holter device monitoring and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring to provide further information.
Patients who arrive without an appointment will be asked to return home and contact their health-care provider, it said.

Patients should attend their appointment alone, unless they require assistance, in which case one support person will be allowed, and should arrive no more than 15 minutes early, or they may be asked to wait in their vehicle.
Upon arrival, they'll be screened for COVID-19 symptoms, asked to clean their hands and to don a mask.
Those who have a mask are asked to bring their own, but one will be provided for anyone who doesn't have one.
"If you do not wear a mask you will be asked to return home and contact your health care provider," Horizon said.
What to do if you have symptoms
People concerned they might have COVID-19 can take a self-assessment on the government website at gnb.ca.Public Health says symptoms shown by people with COVID-19 have included: a fever above 38 C, a new cough or worsening chronic cough, sore throat, runny nose, headache, new onset of fatigue, new onset of muscle pain, diarrhea, loss of sense of taste or smell, and difficulty breathing. In children, symptoms have also included purple markings on the fingers and toes.
People with two of those symptoms are asked to:
- Stay at home.
- Call Tele-Care 811 or their doctor.
- Describe symptoms and travel history.
- Follow instructions.

So who is Premier
Higgs going to get to enforce this mask wearing rule . Is he going to
hire another 10,000 wanna be cop rejects like he has trying to enforce
border entrance rules . This is really turning into a massive clown show
with Higgs and his Chief Medical Officer as the ringmasters . I suspect
that Higgs will take Kris Austin and the Peoples Alliance down with him
at election time for supporting this foolishness .

Double duty for top civil servant a clear conflict of interest, critics say
Tom MacFarlane's new appointment to Department of Environment and Local Government not announced publicly
· CBC News · Posted: Jun 05, 2020 2:53 PM AT

The top civil servant overseeing provincial forestry and energy policies has been put in charge of the environmental rules that regulate those sectors, raising questions about how he can do both jobs at the same time.
Tom MacFarlane, the deputy minister at the Department of Natural Resources and Energy Development, was recently named to the same top job at the Department of Environment and Local Government.
"It's terrible," said Green Party Leader David Coon. "He will be in a direct conflict of interest."
Lois Corbett, the executive director of the Conservation Council of New Brunswick, said MacFarlane has "a breadth of experience" and "I have a lot of respect for him and his can-do abilities."

But "with one hat on as energy and resource development deputy, he has a certain economic agenda to fulfill, but as environment deputy he has to protect water, first of all, and clean air, and natural systems," she said.
"I don't understand, no matter how wide the beam is, how you can walk that beam."
Appointment not made public
MacFarlane's new appointment was approved by the provincial cabinet May 26 and took effect two days later. The cabinet order makes no mention of it being an acting or interim appointment.Shuffles of deputy ministers are done by Premier Blaine Higgs and are usually announced by the province in press releases, but MacFarlane's was not made public.
It took place when the public's attention was focused on the new COVID-19 outbreak in the Campbellton area.
MacFarlane replaces Kelli Simmonds, who was moved to the position of chairperson of the Workers' Compensation Appeals Tribunal.
Environment and Local Government Minister Jeff Carr did not respond to an interview request Friday.
'Worst decision that could have been made'
Coon said by holding two top bureaucratic jobs at once, MacFarlane is in the difficult position of having to decide in one department whether to restrict or ban activities promoted by his other department."Glyphosate is probably the most publicly well-known example," Coon said.
"Environment regulates it, they're responsible for the Pesticides Control Act, and they have the authority to not sign permits that would prevent its use on Crown land. And the Department of Natural Resources is fully behind its continued use."

The environment department also regulates buffer zones around streams, brooks and lakes, a role that Coon said "runs right into" forestry operations under Natural Resources.
"This is the worst decision that could have been made," he said. "I don't know what government was thinking when they decided that pairing those two departments under a single deputy made any sense."
Corbett said New Brunswickers "have to respect our civil service and trust that they have the highest level of professionalism at all times. But what I'm concerned about is that the perception of conflict is sometimes just as dangerous as real conflicts."
No meaningful change
Earlier this year at the first hearings by a legislative committee on climate change, MacFarlane acknowledged there was still no strategy to meet emissions targets in the energy sector, three years after the provincial climate plan called for one."It's a fairly extensive effort to do such a thing," he said.
And in 2017, MacFarlane told the same committee his department still hadn't implemented a recommendation by the auditor general to give private woodlot owners a more reliable share of the wood being sold to major forestry mills.
"I think we're continuing to work on that recommendation," MacFarlane said.
A shrinking share of fibre from private woodlots, and a corresponding larger share from publicly-owned Crown land, contributed to the U.S. government ending an exemption for New Brunswick from softwood lumber duties in 2017.
But Coon said Friday that without changes to legislation, that didn't amount to much.
"There's just been lots of verbiage from the minister on this but no actual meaningful change," he said.

N.B. political leaders differ on protests during pandemic
Premier Higgs acknowledges inconsistencies between rules restricting gatherings and allowing protests
CBC News · Posted: Jun 05, 2020 2:29 PM AT

The New Brunswick premier says there is "inconsistency" between
allowing large protests and banning other gatherings under COVID-19
restrictions, but the decision was made not to move in on protesters in
order to maintain "balance."
"It's a health risk to the people that participated and all would know that," said Premier Blaine Higgs.
"But it's a choice they made."
Higgs said any attempt to move the protesters would "likely lead to more chaos."
This
week the province saw several large protests against anti-black racism
spurred by the murder of George Floyd, a Minneapolis man who was killed
after a police officer put his knee on his neck for almost nine minutes.
That officer has since been charged with second-degree murder and three other officers have also been brought up on charges.
While the protests have drawn hundreds of people, until Friday COVID-19 rules have limited outdoor public gatherings to 10 or less with physical distancing.
This has meant the cancellation of many events, including graduations and proms.
But the province has also allowed protests often during the pandemic, with at least five unrelated protests taking place in Fredericton since restrictions started, including protests against the COVID-19 restrictions and mandatory vaccination legislation.
Be he said others have had their rights put on pause, including the right to worship.
"Churches have been limited and shuttered for quite some time," said Austin.
"I do think the rules should apply evenly across the board."
Green Party Leader David Coon said it was important the protest go ahead.
"The right to assemble and demonstrate in a democracy is sacred and it's very difficult to say, 'That's not happening,'" said Coon
"For the vast majority of people who participated in these demonstrations were wearing facemasks, which is really important."
LIberal Leader Kevin VIckers wouldn't comment on if there was any inconsistency between the rules and the protest, but he said he did feel precautions were taken by the protesters.
"There were well over 50 people there for sure, possibly a couple of hundred," said Vickers.
"Social distancing I would say for the most part was more than being respected."
