New Brunswick will move into the “green” phase at midnight on Friday night, which means all COVID-19 restrictions will be lifted.
That is despite the province not reaching its initial target of having 75 per cent of eligible residents vaccinated before doing so.
Health Minister Dorothy Shephard said the province is in a good position to go green.
“This is the time to do this. We just don’t have any reason to not proceed with going green and that’s a really good thing,” Shephard said in a phone interview Thursday.
“I hope the population of New Brunswick takes confidence that, through all of COVID, we’ve been very clear about watching the data and responding to the best information we have on any given day.”
