"We are moving in the right direction, but we have not reached out destination."
Dr. Russell is encouraging NBers to keep doing what you're doing. Wash your hands, limit leaving your home, keep your distance when you do.
She says there have been a lot of NBers who have reached out, asking how they can help.
People or businesses have inquired about donating their stock of medical equipment.
She says this has touched her heart.
"There will be a strict process to vet protective gear."
Information on how to donate is now posted on the GNB website -
You'll be asked for the equipment manufacturer, its age, etc.
If your donation is accepted, a pick up will be arranged.
"The desire to help is second nature to New Brunswickers."
Premier Blaine Higgs:
"It's understandable if you're starting to feel just a little bit restless."
He recognizes that many are anxious and unsettled.
He's asking that NBers check on their neighbours.
Or call a senior to see how they're doing.
Reach out to local businesses, and thank them. Make a purchase if you can.
250 tests have been done over last 24 hours in NB.
Of 67,000 applicants to the one-time $900 benefit, 33,000 have been processed.
Over $30 million handed out so far.
Premier says NB EMO has adapted COVID protocols with any flood plans.
Like physical distancing while sandbagging.
And what happens if flooding forces evacuations? Accommodations will be arranged through the Red Cross, rather than families seeking accommodation through friends.
He says he's hoping the coming days and weeks have no or few cases.
"Boring is what I'm looking for."
