SAINT JOHN, N.B. Dr. Robyn MacQuarrie continues to wear a mask and keep a distance of at least two metres from others, even though she is now fully vaccinated against COVID-19. I still follow every single public health recommendation, says MacQuarrie, president of Doctors Nova Scotia. To date, wearing a mask and maintaining physical distance remains the advice of public health officials across Canada regardless of vaccination status. Dr. Theresa Tam, Canada s Chief Public Health Officer, says public health advice will evolve as more people become vaccinated. Until the directive changes, Dr. MacQuarrie says there s still a risk or virus transmission.

A hospital spokesperson announced the hospital increased employee pay to $15 per hour as of Feb. 21.
“Healthy wages are not just a recruitment tool,” said John Gizdic, Novant Health executive vice president and chief business development officer, in a press release.
