Dr. Jennifer Russell says doctors and nurses have not had to choose which patient will get a respirator - but warns they may still have to.

She says there will be another wave.

This is not the end, she says.

Dr. Russell says maintaining physical distancing, washing hands, and staying home - is saving lives.

She asks that you carry on these practices in the "weeks and months ahead."

Premier Blaine Higgs:

Nursing homes will be provided ipads to help residents to stay in touch with their family/friends.
480 ipads, one for every ten residents will be provided -
And they will stay there, even after the pandemic is over.

There will also be a program on the ipad so that residents can be in touch with doctors for appointments.

The phone line set up for NBers to report any one not complying to the state of emergency declaration has had 8,000 calls.

As of Monday, 29 tickets have been issued to people not complying to the SOE declaration.

The all-party covid committee is meeting tonight.
