HALIFAX For over a year, some of New Brunswick’s essential services closed to the general public to avoid outbreaks of COVID-19. But with just 20 per cent to go before New Brunswick reaches the threshold required to fully reopen, many of those facilities are working on how they will open up again. Physical distancing wasn’t possible for jury trials at Fredericton’s justice building, so the Court of Queen’s Bench was moved last June to the city’s convention centre. It will remain there until the end of the year. “We are finalizing our post-FCC (Fredericton Convention Centre) plan now and will be in a position to provide more information in August,” said a department spokesperson.
