N.B. COVID-19 roundup: 4 more deaths, 103 hospitalizations as province enters lockdown
Level 3 restrictions aim to avert life or death choices, says top doctor

Public Health reported four more COVID-related deaths Friday and 103 COVID hospitalizations, as New Brunswick prepares to enter a 16-day lockdown at midnight.

A person 70-79 in the Moncton region, Zone 1, a person 80-89 in the Saint John region, Zone 2, a person 70-79 in the Fredericton region, Zone 3, and a person 80-89 in the Edmundston region, Zone 4, have died as a result of COVID-19, raising the pandemic death toll to 182.

Of those in hospital, 11 are in intensive care and three are on ventilators.

New Brunswick's chief medical officer of health says the province is moving to the strictest level of its COVID-19 winter plan so doctors aren't forced to make decisions about which patients live or die.

Dr. Jennifer Russell says New Brunswick's hospitals weren't "doing super" before the pandemic and have been under extra strain throughout.

But the fast-spreading Omicron variant has "really compromised our ability to continue to deliver really quality acute services," she told CBC News Network on Friday, hours before the lockdown.

The biggest challenges, she said, are the increased number of hospitalizations for people with COVID-19 and the number of health-care workers who have tested positive and are isolating — 386, as of Thursday...

New Brunswick is "on target" to return Level 2 of the COVID-19 winter plan by Jan. 31, as scheduled, Premier Blaine Higgs said Friday, as the province recorded two more COVID-related deaths.

The two people who died were both in their 80s — one in Zone 2, the Saint John region, and one in Zone 5, the Campbellton region.

That marks 27 deaths in the past nine days, although Public Health recently said it no longer knows if the COVID deaths it reports are people who died from the virus or people who had the virus but died from something else

Fourteen people are in intensive care (three for COVID and 11 with COVID), an increase of two from Thursday, and nine of them are still on ventilators.
