The Campbellton Regional Hospital’s emergency department is expected to begin reopening Friday with limited hours. Several services were suspended after a cluster of COVID-19 cases were traced to a doctor who worked there.
New Brunswick announced two new cases Wednesday, both of which are from the Restigouche region. In all, Social Development Minister Dorothy Shephard says three staff members and five residents at Manoir de la Vallée, a 57-bed long-term care facility in Atholville, have tested positive.
The cases are all in the 18-bed Alzheimer’s or advanced dementia wing, according to the facility’s director. Savoie says the manor typically has about 30 staff, but Premier Blaine Higgs previously mentioned 10 have left the job.
