FREDERICTON They re not calling it an outbreak, but New Brunswick Public Health has sent a risk management team to a Fredericton hotel after five COVID-19 cases were confirmed. Another 10 cases are close contacts and there s also a long list of exposure sites in the city including several restaurants, retail businesses and the city s library. Twenty-five exposure sites is a lot and we know that it doesn t take much for the variants to be transmitted, said New Brunswick Health Minister Dorothy Shephard. Testing is ramping up. Hotel staff and vendors have been tested twice this week. On Friday, an outbreak has been declared at the everett chalmers hospital, where one employee tested positive.
