New Brunswick reported no new COVID-19 deaths Tuesday, the four-year anniversary of the first confirmed case of the virus in the province and in Atlantic Canada.
The last time New Brunswick recorded no COVID deaths was six months ago, the week of Sept. 10, 2023.
No flu deaths occurred during the reporting week of Feb. 25 to March 2 either, according to the Respiratory Watch report.
COVID activity remains “moderate,” while influenza activity increased “slightly,” it says, including a jump in flu hospitalizations, two of whom were aged five to 19.
Twenty people were hospitalized because of COVID or for something else and later tested positive for the virus during the reporting week, down from 30 in the previous report. Nineteen of them were aged 65 or older and the other was aged 45 to 64.
None required intensive care, unchanged.
