Epidemiologist says decision to lift all COVID restrictions in N.B. too soon, too risky
A Toronto infection control epidemiologist says New Brunswick has not reached the level of immunity at which lifting all COVID-19 restrictions makes sense. Premier Blaine Higgs announced last week that New Brunswick will go green and lift restrictions on Friday, regardless of whether the province meets vaccination targets. 'Deceptive' numbersAs of Tuesday, New Brunswick saw 64.7 per cent of its eligible population fully vaccinated. New Brunswick will lift all COVID-19 restrictions late Friday night, including mask-wearing. Children can still participate in chains of transmission of COVID-19, Furness said.
