* It is important to note that each individual may have been tested more than once

As of March 23, 2020: Laboratory testing is done by the Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont University Hospital Centre

Each health zone serves different population numbers, therefore; testing numbers per zone will vary and can’t be used as a direct comparison between zones.

Test volumes in each of the health zones reflect the number of citizens with symptoms that:

•  met the travel criteria,

•  were close contacts of confirmed cases, or

•  were healthcare workers who requested a test.

 

    

    

 

Actions being taken


New Brunswick’s public health officials are carefully monitoring the situation in Canada, and around the world, and are ready to respond.

They are:

  • working closely with federal, provincial and territorial partners to share information and assess potential health risks
  • ensuring our health system is ready to respond effectively if needed
  • ensuring front-line health professionals have information about the virus so they can:
    • take recommended actions
    • promptly report suspected cases to public health officials
    • investigate of persons who may have been exposed and are potentially at risk of developing illness to help prevent spread
