The New Brunswick government is backtracking on a decision to make wearing masks mandatory to enter public buildings. "Cabinet has reviewed the decision and it was not the intent to place an additional expectation on businesses or the public regarding wearing a face covering in a public space," said a news release from the province on Saturday. The province does say people must wear masks if they are in a public space where social distancing cannot be maintained. The province recorded its first COVID-19 related death two days ago. Public Health has recorded 136 confirmed cases of COVID-19 since the pandemic began in March.
