New Brunswick is following through on its plea to the public to follow the rules of the Emergency Measures Act. The Moncton and Saint John region are back in the orange phase with tighter restrictions following a spike in new COVID-19 cases recently. Stacey Johnston was fined $292.50 on Saturday for not wearing a mask outside of Walmart in Saint John. Johnston and her cousin had just finished getting groceries when they stopped outside the store to have a cigarette. Premier Blaine Higgs indicated the entire province could move to orange-level restrictions if the rise in cases continues.
