SAINT JOHN, N.B. Visitor restrictions at New Brunswick long-term care facilities will remain in place for an additional two weeks once the province enters a Green phase of COVID-19 recovery. It is really just for our long-term care (facilities) to give them time to deescalate their situations, said Health Minister Dorothy Shephard on Wednesday. Social Development and Public Health are currently developing guidelines and recommendations for long-term care facilities for when our province reaches green. The New Brunswick government says it will ease COVID-19 restrictions under the Green phase when 75 per cent of the eligible population is fully vaccinated.

The recent update to New Brunswick’s plan for rolling out the COVID-19 vaccines brought a great deal of satisfaction for Cecile Cassista.
The Executive Director of the Coalition for Seniors and Nursing Home Residents’ Rights had previously voiced concerns about a vaccination plan that prioritized younger New Brunswickers.
However, with a revision that now places individuals aged 60-69 ahead of those between the age of 16 and 24, Cassista is pleased to know her issues are being heard.
“This is a prime example of the government listening to the people and addressing the issues of concern,” said Cassista.
