New Brunswick’s education minister said that the province is asking residents to “embrace the risks” as it continues to follow its COVID-19 recovery plan.
Dominic Cardy said that the government’s decision to reopen child-care facilities is about balancing the challenges that come with living during a global pandemic rather than directing all New Brunswickers to self-isolate indefinitely. “If we want to emerge from this with the opportunity to build on what we had before then we need to embrace the risk,” Cardy said on Wednesday, describing the province’s approach as a shared voyage for New Brunswickers.
The province has entered the “orange” phase of its COVID-19 recovery, which will allow New Brunswick’s regulated daycares to open on May
