FREDERICTON — New Brunswick's chief medical officer of health says that while hospitalizations continue to rise, they are below original projections, which indicates people have responded to the call to reduce their contacts.
Dr. Jennifer Russell confirmed there are 138 people hospitalized with COVID-19 today — an increase of seven from Monday.
There are 11 people in intensive care and three people on ventilators.
In a statement, Russell said three more people have died as a result of COVID-19.
Two people from the Bathurst region, one in their 80s and one in their 90s, have died, as well as a person in their 70s in the Miramichi region.
There are currently 482 health-care workers who are isolating after testing positive for COVID-19.
