"Welcome to the new normal"

Dr. Russell begins today's press conference, with news that there are no new cases again today (for a 7th straight day).

@CTVAtlantic
She says she's strongly recommending people where non-medical masks when out in public.
Somethings are about the change, she says.
But encourages:
-hand washing
-clean services
-wear masks
-physical distancing in public
-don't touch your face.
She says if there are 3 outbreaks in a 6 day period... restrictions will be put back in place.
She's hinting at some of things we will now be able to do...waiting until the Premier clarifies.
Premier begins.
So, beginning today:
You can add one more household to your bubble, can be family/friend, but must agree it's only the two of you
And you can enjoy the following:
-Golf Courses
-Fishing and Hunting
-Outdoor Spaces, like parks
-Car Pool
-Outdoor Religious Services
IF the curve remains flat over the next 2-4 weeks, these are things that will be able to reopen/resume:

-Elective Surgeries
-Daycare, camps and childcare centres
-Retail
-Office spaces
-Restaurants
-Campgrounds
-ATV Trails

#NB
IF that curve remains flat, in 3-4 weeks:
-hairstylists (!!!)
-dentists, massage, chiropractors
-churches
-gyms
-other business spaces
There are concerns about some other things --
So, until further notice:
-bars
-organized sports
-gathering places

...will remain closed.
Higgs says large gatherings, like festivals and concerts, will NOT be allowed until after Dec. 31/2020.
Because NB is one of the first in the country to take these steps, officials acknowledge this is a challenge.

Adding one other household to your bubble - that's a move NB is taking from New Zealand's success.
Press conference is continuing with comments by the other three party leaders.

Kris Austin: If you look across North America, we're certainly ahead of the pack...that is incredible.
Premier Higgs says he has had conversations with PEI Premier Dennis King about the position each of their respective provinces are in.

He says the bridge between the two remains closed for now... but there are conversations ongoing about its potential opening.

Insp. Kimberly Quartermain, a critical incident commander, says it was a male who was barricaded today in his own home, but voluntarily left around 3:40 today.

@CTVAtlantic
It was a neighbour who contacted the police. They saw a male with a firearm. Not sure if it was outside or inside the residence. The male is 28 years old, and police “have had previous contact” with him.
Police are aware of two long guns, a bullet proof vest and knives in the residence. The residence is still being secured. No shots were fired.

I'm back in court this afternoon for the Matthew Raymond trial -
Jury is in the room, cross examination has continued of Alex Pate. The Crown is asking about prior interviews/court appearances where Raymond was upset, spoke out, and in some cases, yelled during a proceeding.
We're listening to another audio recording, from June 18, 2019.

Justice Ferguson is explaining to Raymond that what he says in the courtroom can be used as evidence. Raymond says he has been asking to speak to his lawyer.
Crown completes its questions.
Defence begins again.

Back from lunch.
Jury is in the room.

Brother-in-law is still on the stand.
We can identify him only as Jeffrey because of a publication ban.

He says he recalls Raymond talking about the earth being flat and conspiracies that high-level government workers ran the world.
"When we came in he always told us to turn our phones off or put them in the truck off the car...I told him no one's listening to him, no one cares...he just had it in his head that he knew things."

We’ve resumed testimony in the trial of Matthew Vincent Raymond.

Brendan Doyle has been excused.

Crown has now called Justin McLean to the stand.
McLean says he lived at 237 Brookside Dr. He says he was waking up to go to work on the morning of August 10.

“I woke up to the sound of gunshots.”
McLean is being shown an aerial photo of 237 Brookside.

He’s asked which building and where his unit was.

Says he was in the basement of one of the buildings. He looked out the window:

“I saw a police officer with a gun pointed upwards.”

Court has resumed this morning for the trial of Matthew Vincent Raymond.

I feel I should say, some of what I’ll be tweeting over this trial will be difficult to read and potentially triggering. Please keep that in mind if you’re following along. (File photo)

@CTVAtlantic
“We didn’t know what we were going in for...”

A paramedic who responded August 10/2018 is the first to take the stand this morning. She says at about 10:30 this morning “things actually started happening.”
She describes learning that her ambulance would be transporting the suspect to hospital. It was her second day on the ambulance.

“I was only in charge of taking vitals...and then they started...doing their head to toe assessment.”

“He was very coherent, very calm.”
