SAINT JOHN, N.B. The families of people who live in a Saint John nursing home gripped by an outbreak of COVID-19 for nearly three months are breathing a collective sigh of relief this week after New Brunswick Public Health declared the outbreak officially over. Some, however, are still wondering what comes next. Louise Mackin called to check in and catch-up with her mother from the parking lot of Parkland Saint John s Tucker Hall. For two months, this was the closest she could get, but that all changed this week. The next day, Wednesday, I was able to go in and visit with my mom face-to-face, and we were even able to sit closer than the previous visits before Christmas, Mackin said.
New Brunswick Public Health is reporting six new cases of COVID-19 on Friday. Twelve previously reported cases are now considered recovered, as the number of active cases in the province drops to 105.
