Public Health also reported New Brunswick’s third death related to COVID-19. They said a person in their 60s in the Moncton region (Zone 1) passed away as the result of underlying health conditions, including COVID-19.
The individual was among the cases connected with the recent outbreak within Zone 1 and had been a resident at a special care home, Manoir-Notre-Dame.
