N.B. COVID-19 roundup: Nursing home outbreak, province announces 3 deaths, 58 new cases

Two residents, including a person in their 50s, and one employee at the Villa Renaissance nursing home in Dalhousie have died of COVID-19, according to Michael Keating, interim executive director of the New Brunswick Association of Nursing Homes.

Seven employees and seven patients at the nursing home have tested positive for the virus since Wednesday.

Keating said the province has sent in people to help support staff at the Villa Rennaissance and that's allowing residents to get the care they need.

Keating said there are new measures in place to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Employees "have to change linens after visiting from one room to another, and then they can't go in and out without completely changing clothes," he said.

Some residents have had to switch rooms in order to separate people who've tested positive for the virus from those who have not contracted COVID-19.

Keating said employees are feeling the extra weight of these new measures and having lost a team member and two residents is lowering morale.

"The employees are terribly hurt, the only thing we can do is say prayers for them," said Keating.

935 active cases

On Sunday, the province reported three new deaths related to COVID-19 and 58 new cases.

There are also 117 recoveries.

Two people in their 40s and one person in their 90s in the Campbellton region (Zone 5) have died "as a result of COVID-19," according to a news release.

The deaths bring the provincial total to 90.

"We all have a role to play in slowing the spread of the virus," Premier Blaine Higgs said in a news release.

"I want to thank the businesses that have taken steps to motivate employees to get vaccinated and I encourage other businesses to do the same. COVID-19 can pose a serious risk in the workplace and may impact a business's operations, especially if an unvaccinated employee contracts the disease."

A total of 91.5 per cent of all eligible New Brunswickers have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine and 82.4 per cent are fully vaccinated.

There are now 57 people hospitalized due to the virus, with 18 in intensive care. Of those in intensive care, 16 are unvaccinated and two are partially vaccinated.

Of those hospitalized, 29 are unvaccinated, six are partially vaccinated and 22 are fully vaccinated.

No one under 19 is hospitalized.

There are 935 active cases in the province.

Of the new cases, 35 are unvaccinated, five are partially vaccinated and 20 are fully vaccinated.

What to do if you have a symptom

People concerned they might have COVID-19 can take a self-assessment test online.

Public Health says symptoms of the illness have included a fever above 38 C, a new or worsening cough, sore throat, runny nose, headache, a new onset of fatigue, and difficulty breathing.

In children, symptoms have also included purple markings on the fingers and toes.

People with one of those symptoms should stay at home, call 811 or their doctor and follow instructions.
