The abrupt decision came a day after officials confirmed a health-care worker who travelled outside New Brunswick had failed to self-isolate upon their return and subsequently infected at least two other people in the Campbellton area

Premier Blaine Higgs said the health-care worker had been in contact with “multiple patients” over a two-week period following their return to New Brunswick.“As the official Opposition, we wanted to be here to keep doing our work and hold the government to account,” Liberal finance critic Roger Melanson said.

Two of them issued a joint statement, saying they will be asking about getting tested for the virus, even though they have yet to display any symptoms. The province’s chief medical officer of health, Dr. Jennifer Russell, said the Campbellton area will take a step backward to the orange level, which means a return to tighter restrictions on physical distancing.
