The number of cases are broken down by New Brunswick’s seven health zones:

ZONE 5 REMAINS ORANGE

The Campbellton region (Zone 5) remains in the Orange level of recovery with an additional restriction to limit the spread of COVID-19 in the region.

The province recommends that residents limit their contact to a single household bubble plus a formal or informal caregiver or member of their immediate family (a parent, child, sibling or grandparent).

REMEMBRANCE DAY CEREMONY CANCELLED

The Remembrance Day ceremony at the Campbellton Civic Centre has been cancelled.

The decision was a difficult one for the local Legion to make.

"I feel terrible that I have to cancel it but, we've got no choice," said Jim Adams of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 19.

It's something they’ve never had to do.

A smaller scale ceremony is scheduled to be held at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 19.

Only 10 people can attend, but it will be broadcast on social media.

"With us going into orange, we realized there was no way we could have our ceremony at the civic centre as in the years past," Adams said.

In the meantime, Adams says there is something people can do.

"If they happen to meet a veteran on the street or anywhere just a stop, maintain your distance but at least say thank you for the service that they gave us," he said.

Poppies and wreaths are still available at the Legion and in stores.

STATE OF EMERGENCY EXTENDED

On Thursday, New Brunswick's state of emergency mandatory order was renewed under the authority of the Emergency Measures Act. The state of emergency was first declared on March 14.
