HALIFAX Health officials in New Brunswick are reporting the province’s 34th death related to COVID-19, as well as seven new cases on Wednesday. Public Health says a person in their 60s in the Saint John region (Zone one) has died from COVID-19. I am saddened to learn that another individual has lost their life as a result of COVID-19, said Health Minister Dorothy Shephard in Wednesday’s media release. On behalf of all New Brunswickers, I share my sincere condolences with the family and friends of this person. This brings the total number of COVID-19-related deaths in the province to 34.
Horizon Health Network Chair John McGarry says he was perturbed by the provincial government's assertion that it would be taking over efforts to recruit doctors to New Brunswick, and he is casting doubt on its ability to successfully do so.

One of the rocks painted for Lexi s Legacy, a campaign to raise awareness about mental health. (Submitted by Chris Daken)
Piper and Brennah Daken have started painting rocks and leaving them in public places to keep their sister s memory alive and the conversation going about mental health reform. It s nice to have the community involved and to keep the message of the importance of mental health going, said 20-year-old Piper. But it s also therapeutic for us because the rocks are kind of like bringing Lexi along with us on our family trips and leaving a piece of her there.
