What a shame, I was hoping to visit some of my relatives and the graves of my parents and brother. Hope all health clears up without a death.
I think this is a wise decision. š
Congratulations on requesting Mask wearing and distancing. Very supportive of this action. Please everyone act responsibly and remember we are all in this together and onlu us can get out of this pandemic together,
Wish they would report the potential exposure sites, would be helpful to know so people could go get tested if exposed!
Hi Wendy,
I was speaking with Public Health today about the lack of exposures and I was told that “Any close contacts of cases have been contacted by Public Health and followed up as per provincial guidelines. If unable to identify contacts, a public exposure will be posted on the GNB site: https://www2.gnb.ca/content/gnb/en/corporate/promo/covid-19/potential_public_exposure.html#7“
