Premier Blaine Higgs and chief medical officer of health Dr. Jennifer Russell are reminding New Brunswickers to follow public health rules after the first weekend of relaxed restrictions in the province.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not a free for all,\u201d Higgs said at the province\u2019s daily update on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf people start attending gatherings that extend beyond their two household bubble right now we could begin to see a resurgence of COVID-19.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coronavirus outbreak: No new COVID-19 cases in N.B., no victory yet over virus says chief medical officer<\/span>

On Friday the province began its four phase recovery plan. The first phase focuses on outdoor activities while also allowing for the creation of two family bubbles.<\/p>\n

But according to Dr. Russell some may have gotten carried away with the small taste of freedom afforded by the new rules and that success against the virus depends on people following public health rules.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m also aware that there are many instances where New Brunswickers have taken chances with the virus by holding multi-family gatherings and neighbourhood get-togethers. That\u2019s really not OK at this stage,\u201d Dr. Russell said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to understand the temptation to run these risks, but it\u2019s really important that the public, that everybody understands that it\u2019s not worth it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Higgs stressed that now is not the time to be looking for loopholes in the rules that could have dire consequences.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople will many times try to find loopholes or a way to stretch the rules. We stretch the rules at the risk of infecting someone we love,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s stay focused, let\u2019s keep our strong record going. We can do this together.\u201d<\/p>\n

New Brunswick has now gone nine days without a new case of COVID-19. Just six of the province\u2019s 118 confirmed cases are active and three people are in hospital with the virus.<\/p>\n

Should cases surge in the province restrictions could be reimposed, but officials are appealing to the public to continue following the rules.<\/p>\n

Over the weekend calls to the government \u201csnitch line\u201d surged to 758, up from 617 the weekend before. There were 22 tickets issued over the last week for breaking provincial orders. There have been 77 issued since a state of emergency was declared in March.<\/p>\n

Higgs said that as restrictions are loosened, enforcement will be stepped up.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe risk is high so we will be heightening our surveillance and as I said, fines will continue,\u201d said Higgs. \u201cWe are at this point and we do not want to regress.\u201d<\/p>\n
