    N.B. COVID-19 roundup: 116 new cases, 31 people in ICU, Vitalité moves to 'red alert'
    Projections indicate hospitalizations will increase over 'next few weeks,' says Vitalité CEO
    Bobbi-Jean MacKinnon · CBC News · Posted: Oct 07, 2021 7:39 AM AT | Last Updated: 1 hour ago

    New Brunswick recorded 116 new cases of COVID-19 on Thursday, and the Vitalité Health Network announced all non-essential health-care services will be "greatly reduced" or temporarily suspended, starting Tuesday.

    For the Campbellton Regional Hospital, the "red alert" changes take effect immediately because of a COVID-19 outbreak.

    Vitalité has "no other option," given the COVID situation and "severe" staffing shortage, which adds to the "seriousness and complexity of the situation," president and CEO Dr. France Desrosiers said in a statement.

    Fifty-five New Brunswickers are now in hospital because of the virus, including 31 in intensive care, Public Health said in a news release. That's up from 51 and 25 respectively on Wednesday, and an all-time high.

    Epidemiological projections indicate the number of hospitalizations will increase over "the next few weeks," and Vitalité must be prepared, said Desrosiers.

    "We must go to red alert internally so that we can temporarily reduce or suspend non-essential services and thereby redeploy staff to maintain our emergency services and intensive care units and the care of patients with COVID-19 who are hospitalized," she said...

    The province has announced a 14-day COVID-19 circuit breaker targeting northwestern New Brunswick, as the virus has claimed one more life and infected 90 more people.

    The measures in the Moncton region, Zone 1, as far north as Saint-Anne-de-Kent, the Fredericton region, Zone 3, north of Deerville, and all of the Edmundston region, Zone 4, are designed to protect the health-care system and prevent the virus from becoming even more entrenched, said Premier Blaine Higgs.

    Thanksgiving gatherings for all New Brunswickers are limited to single households, he said.

    "We must act. We cannot delay any longer," he told the COVID briefing, which is being livestreamed here on CBC New Brunswick's website.

    Fifty people are in hospital, 23 of them in intensive care.
