COVID-19 cases during the province’s fourth wave of the pandemic.Dr. Jeff Steeves, president of the New Brunswick Medical Society, said the Delta variant has changed the pandemic in the province because it is more transmissible.He said it’s concerning to see case numbers multiplying and hospitalizations going up because they’re increasing the stress on an already worn-out health care system, and believes some tough decisions are coming.
Doctors worry Canada’s 4th wave of COVID-19 could be biggest yet “We’ve gone from 30 cases (per day) on average to 60-something cases on average,” Steeves said.“If it were to double again over the next week, then I think we would be very likely to see elective health care have to close down.
