After tying up traffic briefly at a checkpoint on the Lincoln Road outside Fredericton on Saturday, at least 100 vehicles drove in a procession into the downtown, where about 300 people were already protesting at the New Brunswick legislature.
An Ottawa-based epidemiologist says New Brunswick should slow down its plan to go restriction-free, and choose one or the other to remove: masks or border restrictions. It s too risky to remove both at the same time, says Raywat Deonandan. I m particularly concerned about the opening of borders and introducing new infections from tourists, he said. I understand, that has to happen, tourism is an important aspect of your economy, but you can control that better if you maintain the mitigation tools. In particularly, high quality mask-wearing, at least for a while. On Saturday, the province s mandatory order will not be renewed.
