New Brunswick has reported its third new case of COVID-19 in a the last week and all are in a single cluster connected to a health-care worker at the Campbellton Hospital who failed to self-isolate after travelling to Quebec.

"The person who travelled did not self-isolate upon returning to New Brunswick," the province's chief medical officer of health Dr. Jennifer Russell said Wednesday afternoon during a news conference in Fredericton. "Unfortunately not everyone is taking this seriously. It is very important that people be truthful with public health staff."

"We know we'll see more cases connected to this," said Higgs, who says the person was not "forthcoming about their reasons for travel upon returning to New Brunswick." "If charges need to be laid, they will," Higgs said. "We don't have all the facts, but over the coming days, we will get them." "We cannot afford to take chances with this virus," Dr. Russell said. "This is a global pandemic and it's not going to end until we have a vaccine. This virus does not move by itself; it moves with people. People can spread the virus even if they don't have symptoms."We have to control this within the region," Higgs said.

'Update'.... should be mabe a sacrificial lamb !

Should be made a example of(on display as embarrassment ) to others who do not respect his fellow man.

Let’s keep let them in...

I’m not convinced singling out a single person for doing something much of the population is also guilty of, is the most responsible of moves from an elected official. Not surprised, it’s coming from the conservatives. 🙄 BlameAndShameEh

So how many tests are they doing ? Cause if they failed to isolate how many did they spread before they knew they had it !

Probably somebody gets all the news off Facebook...

This individual needs to be fined!!.

Now there's a man who knows his shit. Run for PM please. 👍

They should be self isolating in prison now.

Fine and jail to the highest amount possible

Just shows you it only takes one person to spread covid-19 to several people. It's very disappointing that a healthcare worker knowing the risks did this and now a whole region suffers because of that person.

Blame game

This traveller should be severely fined and charged with ignoring health directives. A message has to be sent to those who do not take the health and welfare of others seriously.

Don’t freak out... it’s gonna happen!! Just deal with it appropriately.

Put ankle bracelets on people who are to quarantine. That’ll keep an eye on them😂👍🏼

Ya but the liberals keep bringing in chinese

More nonsense from government. Everyone sick of them all yet?

And theres alot of those people in toronto

Where is the proof? Covid can live on a 20 degrees Celsius surface Our bodies are 35 degrees Celsius all day everyday Who are these experts that's not showing recovery rates? You cant be sick from covid for 3 months already Someone is lying Canada health is not TRUE INFO!

oh and btw, if they can somehow prove that u defied orders to self isolate when you got home, you should be charged to the full extent of the law. If someone ends up getting sick and dies because of you, you should be charged with man slaughter, period!

Let her recuperate in jail in solitary confinement!

You can not fix stupid

A Canadian is NOT a traveller unless they have left the country. Canadians have the RIGHT to free movement amongst the Provinces and Territories by Charter.

Measures in NB are soft, so evidently people feel free to do not respect. Conservative way...

Aka selfish asshole

The Fed/Prov Governments LIED 50% min of the dead did NOT die from CV they died from nursing home abuse - this is True of Italy, Spain, Greece, France, NYC and it is now proven. Children are NOT virus carriers. It’s ok to NOT be afraid of a disease with a 99.984% survival rate.

This is one more reason to reconsider checkpoints. People travel from one province to another without self-isolating and end up infecting others. This must stop and these people must be punished!

yet they say closing the border completely is unnecessary. apparently it isn't because apparently there's still people out there not only selfish enough to travel, but selfish enough to just defy orders to self isolate when they get home.people can't be trusted. who woulda thunk?

Blah blah blah. Typical dummy on the east coast thinks it has to be zero to get back to real life. Welfare provinces at best.
