NB has just shuttered almost everything. Just watched/watching the press release:
- All public space businesses have been shut down: theatres, libraries, museums, pools, all sports facilities (including the ski hills), bars, any restaurant with a buffet etc... closed as of tonight.
- Daycares now closed as well, with the exception that they are allowed to provide care for children of essential service workers (so the children of doctors etc....)
- No visitors allowed to nursing homes or hospitals, with the exception of 1 immediate family member for ICU, NICU, Pediatrics
- All businesses are to ask employees to work from home. If that's not possible, please close, unless you provide essential service (groceries, gas etc...)
- All medical procedures including surgery, tests, appointments, ambulatory clinics etc... being canceled except for those that are considered necessary (life-saving). This one hits home for us unfortunately.
- Screening centers are being set up for Covid, as are online doctor's clinics.
- All New Brunswickers told to please stay home unless absolutely necessary
