N.B. reports four COVID-19 cases in Fredericton, bringing total active cases to 118

FREDERICTON — New Brunswick is reporting four new cases of COVID-19 as case numbers continue to mount in Atlantic Canada.

Health officials say all four of the cases announced Saturday are in the Fredericton region, with three of those infected between the ages of 20 and 29 and one under the age of 19.

All four of the latest patients are self-isolating, and health officials are investigating how they contracted the novel coronavirus.

The most recent cases bring the total number of active diagnoses in New Brunswick to 118.

The province pulled out of the Atlantic bubble on Friday amid rising COVID-19 cases across the region.

All visitors to New Brunswick – including from the Atlantic region – now must register before entering the province and isolate for 14 days upon arrival.
