HALIFAX --
New Brunswick health is reporting two deaths caused by COVID-19 in residents of a Saint John long-term care facility.
The deaths involve two residents of Lily Court, of Parkland Saint John's Tucker Hall, who died Tuesday morning as a result of underlying complications including COVID-19. One of the residents was in their 80s and one in their 70s.
Lily Court is one of the neighbourhoods inside Tucker Hall, which is where Nancy Cogger's 93-year-old father lives.
"To not be able to do anything to keep your parent safe, it's devastating," said Cogger. "I think we need to move to the next stage and say, 'how do we stop the spread of this disease through this home,' and it's through the vaccine."
