UPDATE on APRIL 22TH, 2020 - New Brunswick Coronavirus Crisis----No new cases of COVID---Nursing homes provided with iPads; no new cases today!!!!!!

Nursing homes provided with iPads; no new cases today
22 April 2020
FREDERICTON (GNB) – Public Health reported no new cases of COVID-19 today. The number of confirmed cases in New Brunswick is 118 and the number of active cases is 14. To date,104 people have recovered. There are five patients hospitalized, including one patient in an intensive care unit.
The latest updates and information on confirmed COVID-19 cases and laboratory testing in New Brunswick are available online.
Dr. Jennifer Russell, chief medical officer of health, said the test results continue to be encouraging. But she urged New Brunswickers to practise physical distancing when they go out.
Continued adherence to these practices will help prevent the re-emergence of the virus, she said.
“This is not the end,” Russell said. “I ask that you continue to observe the restrictions set under the provincial state of emergency and continue to take precautions against the spread of the virus, even when those restrictions have been eased.”
Ramadan celebrations
Russell reminded New Brunswick’s Muslim community that communal meals traditionally held to break the daily fast during the holy month of Ramadan are not permitted under the current state of emergency. Only gatherings of people currently sharing a home are permitted. She suggested Muslims participate in online events that will allow them to safely practise the tenets of their faith.
Assistance to help families stay connected
The provincial government is providing nursing homes with iPads to help residents stay in contact with loved ones. Each nursing home will be provided with one iPad for each 10 residents, for a total of about 480 tablets.
The government is working with BrunNet Inc., which will be responsible for delivering the tablets to nursing homes and for providing support as needed regarding their use.
In addition, to maximize the use of the tablets, each will be equipped with a virtual care application. This feature will enable physicians to provide care to residents remotely.
“We are very pleased to announce this initiative,” said Premier Blaine Higgs.” We understand how difficult it is for nursing home residents to be cut off from their families. We hope this will give residents and staff a great option to help keep families as close as possible under the circumstances.
“Our government will explore more ways it can use these tablets to improve the lives of nursing home residents,” said Higgs. “This is just one way we are using technology to our advantage during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Toll-free line
The toll-free information line which was set up to help answer non-health related questions, including questions about compliance with the state of emergency, has been useful. Early statistics from Service New Brunswick show that more than 8,000 calls to this line have been responded to since its launch on March 23.
The number, 1-844-462-8387, offers services in both languages and is operational seven days a week from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The email address is helpaide@gnb.ca.
Depending upon the nature of the query, a caller may be directed to resources such as Opportunities NB’s Business Navigator or to WorkSafeNB. Complaints about non-compliance with the state of emergency are referred to law enforcement agencies for further review.
High level of compliance
Higgs said he is pleased to see that New Brunswickers are complying with the state of emergency order, as only in a very small number of cases has enforcement been required. As of April 20, 29 tickets had been issued across the province for violations of the order.
“The level of co-operation across New Brunswick, from law enforcement officials to the individuals patiently waiting in line at the grocery stores, is amazing,” said Higgs. “New Brunswick is on the right track and thanks to everyone’s co-operation we anticipate that we will be able to reduce some of the restrictions under the emergency order very soon.”
Open fires prohibited
New Brunswickers are reminded that under the emergency order, all open fires are prohibited until May 1. Conditions across the province vary. Even after receiving significant amounts of rain, grasslands dry very quickly and become extremely flammable. Under these conditions, a fire can spread quickly.
The ban on open fires applies to any burning where combustion products are not vented through a stack or chimney. It does not apply to stoves and barbecues that burn gaseous material or briquettes or to CSA-approved outdoor fireplaces.

COVID-19 No new cases of COVID-19; 98 people have recovered
20 April 2020
FREDERICTON (GNB) – Public Health reports no new cases of COVID-19 today.
Of the 118 cases previously confirmed, 66 are travel-related, 42 are close contacts of confirmed cases and 10 are the result of community transmission. There are no cases currently under investigation.
During the pandemic, 13 people have been hospitalized and eight have since been discharged. Two of the five patients remaining in hospital are in an intensive care unit.
As of today, 10,970 tests have been conducted.
To date, 98 people have recovered.
This is the sixth day in the last 10 that a new case of COVID-19 has not been reported. In the past week, there have been just four new cases.
Dr. Jennifer Russell, chief medical officer of health, said patience and vigilance are still required to further slow the spread of the virus.
“Make no mistake – this pandemic is not over, in this province or anywhere else in the world,” said Russell. “We must remain on our guard and keep doing what has gotten us to this stage. That means continuing to stay at home, in your own home, as much as possible.”
Premier Blaine Higgs thanked New Brunswickers for their hard work and sacrifice in keeping the cases of COVID-19 at a minimum.
“Because you paid attention and put the health and safety of your fellow New Brunswickers first, we have been able to slow the virus’s spread,” said Higgs. “We have been fortunate in New Brunswick, but we must not take this for granted. We must continue to follow the directives of Public Health.”
Kearl Lake work site
Russell reported on a recent COVID-19 outbreak at an oil sands work site at Kearl Lake, Alberta, north of Fort McMurray. The outbreak has been linked to cases in British Columbia and Saskatchewan, where workers from the site returned home.
Russell urged any New Brunswickers who have recently been at Kearl Lake, or have had close contact with anyone recently working there, to self-isolate for 14 days as per travel instructions and call 811 for further instructions.
“Even if you feel well and are showing no symptoms, you may still be carrying the virus and may infect others around you,” said Russell.

UPDATE on APRIL 18TH, 2020 - New Brunswick Coronavirus Crisis--ATV trails closed!!!!

ATV trails closed
18 April 2020
FREDERICTON (GNB) – Public Safety Minister Carl Urquhart said today he is pleased that Quad NB is keeping ATV trails closed, in compliance with the current mandatory order issued under the Emergency Measures Act.
“We understand that there are numerous enthusiastic users of off-road vehicles eager to practise their sport in various regions of the province, and we appreciate the work of Quad NB in the development of this sport,” said Urquhart. “However, it is premature to allow such activities.”
The mandatory order states, in paragraph eight, that every owner and occupier of any building or land on which people may gather must take all reasonable steps to prevent gatherings, and to ensure that people on their premises do not come within two metres of each other.
“We know that the majority of trail users are safety-minded and respectful of the rules, but we also know that it would be impossible to ensure that people stay two-metres from each other and not gather in groups along the thousands of kilometres of trails,” said Urquhart. “Keeping New Brunswickers safe and healthy must remain our top priority, not only for the provincial government, but for all organizations in this province. By working together, we will succeed in slowing the spread of the COVID-19.”
The state of emergency mandatory order is available online.

Dr. Jennifer Russell, chief medical officer of health, thanked New Brunswickers for their understanding and patience during the past few weeks, but cautioned that the road ahead is still long.
“It is going to be a beautiful weekend and some people may be tempted to see family and friends,” Russell said. “I encourage you to send your love with a phone call or an email. This is a health-care crisis that does not discriminate based on where you live, what you do, your age or gender.”
Russell said people need to continue to practise physical distancing and to wash their hands thoroughly and frequently.
Anyone experiencing two or more of the following symptoms should contact 811 and follow the directions provided:
fever above 38°C;
a new cough or worsening chronic cough;
sore throat;
runny nose; and
headache.
Premier Blaine Higgs asked New Brunswickers to keep in mind the progress that has been made in fighting COVID-19.
“The low number of cases reported in our province is promising, but we all must continue the fight to beat this virus,” said Higgs. “If we all keep following the directive of Public Health, I am confident we will see fewer restrictions in the weeks ahead. Like all of you, that is something I am very much looking forward to.”

Pauline Dunbar died two years ago today - A daughter morning the death of her Mom...........
On April 14 2018 My mother defeated death
When death came calling
We couldn't know why
You tried to hold on
I suck at goodbye
I know that you suffered
I raged F@(k cancer
But still we laughed
And let life be our answer
We sang our songs
And said our prayer
And wished you free
Though it felt unfair
We cried as you took
Your last hard-won breath
We didn't know then
You'd defeated death
We have great memories
And your gardens still grow
Your grandkids remember
The loving faith you did show
Miracles now happen
I attribute to you
And when I laugh
I know you still do too!
Your memory's my shelter
Your teachings persist
A sign, shadow, whisper
Death doesn't exist!
I can still feel you
Because you didn't die
You still live on
And death is a lie
With death defeated
I now tell my son
Though we might miss you
His grandmother won!
Lock down in Fredericton.....
"Anonymous" info: Lutheran Place (where Owen lives) is on lockdown. No visitors and tenants only allowed out for essentials up to 3 hours at a time. Security guard at the entrance. They just weren't following rules. Two tenants evicted on Friday for having parties on Wednesday.

COVID-19 Testing protocols for COVID-19 expanded; two new cases
13 April 2020
FREDERICTON (GNB) – Testing for COVID-19 in New Brunswick is being broadened to capture more potential cases of the disease.
Dr. Jennifer Russell, chief medical officer of health, announced that testing would now be recommended for people exhibiting at least two of the following five symptoms:
fever above 38°C;
a new cough or worsening chronic cough;
sore throat;
runny nose; and headache.
Those who are exhibiting at least two of these symptoms are advised to immediately self-isolate and contact 811 or their family physician for further direction. Symptoms can range from relatively mild (runny nose and sore throat) to severe such as difficulty breathing.
“Having two of these five symptoms does not mean that you have COVID-19,” said Russell. “But by isolating yourself quickly, you lessen the chance that the disease will spread to your family, neighbours and the wider community, if you are infected.”
Two new cases
Testing at the microbiology laboratory at the Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont Hospital Centre in Moncton has identified two new cases, bringing the total number of confirmed cases in New Brunswick to 116.
Of the 116 cases, 66 are travel-related, 36 are close contacts of confirmed cases, seven are the result of community transmission and seven remain under investigation.
During the pandemic, 12 people have been hospitalized and seven have since been discharged. Three of the five patients remaining in hospital are in an intensive care unit.
To date, 74 people have recovered.
The new cases are:
An individual aged 40-49 in Zone 3 (Fredericton region)
An individual aged 50-59 in Zone 5 (Campbellton region)
Nursing home residents
“Caring for our seniors is always of the utmost importance for our government, and it has been one of our key priorities since the start of this pandemic,” said Premier Blaine Higgs.
Steps taken to protect residents living in nursing homes include:
Not allowing visitors.
Implementing advanced screening processes for staff prior to their entering work, including taking everyone’s temperature and requiring that several screening questions be answered.
Instructing on-site physicians and clinical staff to care for residents whenever possible, to avoid any unnecessary transfers to hospitals.
Ongoing training for nursing home staff on the proper use of personal protective equipment, and the directive that all staff with direct patient contact are required to use this equipment.
“We are continuing to monitor the situation in our nursing homes, and we will take additional measures if needed as the pandemic continues,” said Higgs.
Enforcement of state of emergency
Law enforcement agencies are receiving calls regularly from people concerned about violations to the province’s state of emergency declaration, and they are responding.
Seventeen tickets have been issued in the last seven days; 26 in total since the emergency order went into effect. Fines range from $292.50 to $10,200.
“Issuing fines is a last resort,” said Higgs. “Our goal is compliance, not punishment. I hope no one else puts himself or herself in a position where officers have to issue a ticket.”

Doctor Wlodzimierz Sokolowski from Miramichi still looking for answers....
Hallo Charles, I watched you interviewing NB Chief Medical Officer Dr. Jennifer Russell.
I hope You do not carry a Covid 19 because if you do you were certainly infecting our NB chief medical officer. The vapour from your breath were reaching the face of the doctor you conversed with. Dr. J. Russell treated you most respectfully, though by my standards, too close face to face. I wonder if our NB Chief medical officer would be willing to tackle the issue you were interviewing me in October of 2017 about Miramichi NB doctors murdering inpatients on my account of an immigrant physician targeted for total annihilation. As we know, neither our NB minister of health, Horizon HN, NB Medical Society nor College of Physicians and Surgeons of New Brunswick (CPSNB) were interested to comment on your interview with me posted on Youtube and still there.
DOCTORS MURDERING PATIENTS.

Two new cases of COVID-19
12 April 2020
FREDERICTON (GNB) – Public Health has updated the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the province.
Testing at the microbiology laboratory at the Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont University Hospital Centre in Moncton has identified two new cases, bringing the total number of confirmed cases in New Brunswick to 114.
Of the 114 cases, 66 are travel-related, 36 are close contacts of confirmed cases, seven are the result of community transmission and five remain under investigation.
Twelve people have been hospitalized and five have since been discharged. Three of the seven patients remaining in hospital are in an intensive care unit.
To date, 70 people have recovered.
The new cases are:
An individual aged 60-69 in Zone 2 (Saint John region)
An individual aged 70-79 in Zone 2 (Saint John region)
Dr. Jennifer Russell, chief medical officer of health, said the small increase in cases is encouraging, but warned residents not to become complacent.
“The message we have been sending to New Brunswickers is clear: Stay at home. Staying home will save lives,” said Russell. “That message remains crucial. We must do everything in our power to ensure we continue to flatten the curve and prevent further spread of the virus.”
Premier Blaine Higgs took the opportunity to wish Happy Easter to New Brunswickers.
“This Easter Sunday is very different than any we have experienced in living memory,” said Higgs. “Churches are empty, restaurants are closed, and family members will not be gathering together today.”
“We understand how difficult this can be and I sincerely thank New Brunswickers for their resilience and their creativity during these difficult times,” he said. “We need to remember why we are doing this. By taking these actions we will reduce the spread of COVID-19. We need to keep doing everything we can to fight this pandemic. This is not the time to relax restrictions, despite how challenging they are for each of us. This is the time to stay the course.”
Higgs also saluted the professionalism of those caring for people with special needs.
“The government is closely monitoring the response to COVID-19 in nursing homes as the situation evolves,” he said. “Protecting the health and well-being of the employees and the residents is a top priority. I thank the dedicated staff of these homes who are working tirelessly during these unprecedented times.”
