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.

HALIFAX As New Brunswick reported 18 new cases of COVID-19, the province s top doctor pleaded with residents to take on the responsibility of stopping the spread of the novel coronavirus. While the virus isn t very mobile, people are, Dr. Jennifer Russell said during a news conference Friday in Fredericton. It is vital that we do everything that we can to stop the spread of COVID-19.

Of New Brunswick s 18 new cases, there are eight new cases in Zone 2, seven new cases in Zone 3, two new cases in Zone 4, and one new case in Zone 5.
