That will likely happen here as well, Russell said, noting "it's not if, it's when."
Russell showed slides of new modelling for New Brunswick, projecting up to 250 new cases each day by early January and as many as 400 new cases a day by the end of next month.
Higgs outlined the stricter Level 2 rules, which include:
Household contacts must be limited to a maximum of a steady 10 individuals.
Dining-in is permitted in restaurants, but they must operate at 50 per cent capacity and request proof-of-vaccination.
Spas, salons will remain open but 50 per cent capacity and proof of vaccination.
Practices will continue, but games are cancelled.
Employees are encouraged to work from home.
Russell also announced 156 new cases Tuesday, with 157 recoveries and 41 people in hospital, 19 of them in intensive care...Comment
