Dr. Russell says public health is continuing to look for more cases -
Encouraging anyone who have 2 symptoms, call 811.

Department of Health is launching a portal to access test results.
So instead of waiting for a phone call, you can look it up online -
You will still get a phone call, but likely get the results faster through the portal.

Premier Blaine Higgs credits NBers' "hard work and sacrifice" as to why the province has seen low cases, no deaths so far.

He says recovery is on the horizon. Closing things happened quickly, but recovery will be slow.

"We will not force any business to reopen before they are ready."

He says he will announce more details on how recovery may happen in the coming days.

Non-profits impacted by COVID can soon get help from the provincial government, through grants of $10-$15,000.

Application forms are available through the regional development corporation website.
