New Brunswick’s two regional health authorities are both moving back to the orange COVID-19 level today and hospital patients will now be allowed to have social visitors for the first time this year.
The visitors must be healthy and vaccinated and are subject to certain conditions, such as visiting one at a time, Horizon and Vitalité health network said in a news release Monday.
Other protective COVID health measures, such as masking and distancing, remain in effect.
Horizon and Vitalité facilities have been under red level protocols, the most restrictive, since Dec. 31.
“The downward trend in the COVID-19 positivity rate combined with the substantial reduction in the number of outbreaks in our health facilities is allowing” the move to the less restrictive level, Vitalité president and CEO Dr. France Desrosiers said in a statement.
