People Warned Against Non-Essential Travel To Edmundston, NB Area

by Bobby NockMarch 26, 2021

The province is asking people to avoid non-essential travel to the city of Edmundston and surrounding communities in New Brunswick.

The move comes after the New Brunswick government placed the area into a so-called “circuit breaker” lockdown yesterday because of an increased number of COVID-19 cases.

Chief medical officer of health, Dr. Robert Strang says it’s also concerning to see confirmed cases of the UK variant in the Edmundston area.

However, there’s no change in the province’s New Brunswick border policy at this time.

People coming from New Brunswick are still not required to quarantine in Nova Scotia.
