N.B. could move to modified yellow phase if COVID-19 cases continue to fall Changes to the orange level of COVID-19 recovery were announced in Friday’s provincial briefing.
The update included the resumption of hospital visitation, which previously was only allowed for those in palliative care.Premier Blaine Higgs said the province hopes to allow visits to long term care homes as well, but that will depend on the ongoing vaccination effort.“Visits to hospital patients will be permitted with public health measures in place, if the facility has the capacity to allow this under their operational plan.
We will work with each facility to ensure this is possible,” Higgs said.For Horizon facilities, visitation went into effect at 2 p.m.
