New Brunswick’s most recent projections show that even with the province’s strict adherence to physical-distancing and self-isolation measures, between 550 and 1,750 people could die in the province during the course of the novel coronavirus pandemic.

The number of fatalities could have been much higher, reaching 5,600 people, if the province had not implemented public health measures at all, according to data released by the province on Thursday.

“To put that number in perspective, 1,800 New Brunswickers died in the Second World War,” said Premier Blaine Higgs during Thursday’s provincial COVID-19 update.

As of Thursday, there are 111 confirmed cases of COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus, in New Brunswick, meaning the province has detected an additional three cases since its last update on Wednesday.

All of the new cases are in one family, and Higgs said it is the result of one member travelling to Ontario more than a week ago...
