HALIFAX New Brunswickers who ignore public health advice and go on unnecessary trips are selfish and don t deserve to be called citizens, Education Minister Dominic Cardy said Monday during a news conference in Fredericton. When Cardy was asked a question about people planning March break trips, he was blunt in his response. We ve been making it increasingly clear that travel is the source of COVID-19 into our province, Cardy said. Anyone who thinks it s a smart idea to go on a March break holiday in light of what Dr. Russell has said, in light of the evidence from around the world, is committing an act of selfishness against their family, against the community, and against the people of this province. They re draining health-care resources from people who need it and they re exposing themselves as people not worthy of the title of citizens.
