Health officials in New Brunswick are reporting three new deaths related to COVID-19 on Tuesday.

Public health says the deaths involve a person in their 80s and a person aged 90 and over, both in the Bathurst region (Zone 6), and a person in their 70s in the Miramichi region (Zone 7)...

... As of Tuesday, public health says there are 138 people in hospital due to COVID-19, 11 of whom are in intensive care.

Of those in hospital:

82 were hospitalized for reasons other than COVID-19
106 are aged 60 and over
three people are on ventilators
four people are aged 19 and under

“While hospitalizations continue to rise, they are trending below our original projections,” said Russell. “The data indicates that New Brunswickers have reduced their contacts by about 30 per cent. This has made a tremendous difference to our acute care system, which has been heavily impacted by employees who are absent due to Omicron and the increasing number of patients.”

Health officials say there are also 482 health-care workers who have tested positive and are isolating as of Tuesday...

N.B. COVID-19 roundup: 5 more deaths, 63 anglophone schools report cases 1st day back
Hospitalizations increase to 162 from 152
Bobbi-Jean MacKinnon · CBC News · Posted: Feb 01, 2022 1:33 PM AT | Last Updated: 1 hour ago

New Brunswick recorded five more COVID-related deaths Tuesday, marking 15 deaths since the province returned to the less restrictive Level 2 of the COVID-19 winter plan on the weekend and raising the pandemic death toll to 243.

The latest deaths include a person 90 or over in the Moncton region, Zone 1, and two people in their 70s and two people in their 80s in the Saint John region, Zone 2.

The number of people in hospital jumped by 10 to 162. Sixty-seven of them are hospitalized for COVID-19 and the other 95 with COVID, meaning they were already admitted for something else when they tested positive for the virus.

Of those in hospital, three are 19 or under, a new category on the COVID dashboard shows, and 124 are aged 60 or over.

Seventeen people are in intensive care, all but one of them for COVID, and seven of them are on ventilators, unchanged.

The seven-day average of hospitalizations increased to 150, from 147, while the seven-day average of ICU admissions increased to 13, from 12.

There were 228 new cases of COVID-19 reported, based on PCR (polymerase chain reaction) lab tests, putting the total active case count at 4,408.

N.B. COVID-19 roundup: 4 COVID-related deaths, hospitalizations reach record-high 165
3 people 19 or under among those hospitalized
Bobbi-Jean MacKinnon · CBC News · Posted: Feb 02, 2022 1:09 PM AT | Last Updated: 1 hour ago

Four more New Brunswickers with COVID-19 have died and the number of people in hospital with the virus has reached a record-high of 165.

But because of the way the province releases data now, it's unclear whether the people died from COVID or just had COVID when they died — only that their deaths were "COVID-related."

And of those in hospital, only 67 are hospitalized for COVID-19, while the other 98 are hospitalized with COVID, meaning they were admitted for something else when they tested positive for the virus — although the condition they were hospitalized for could have been exacerbated by their previously undiagnosed COVID.

Patients hospitalized with COVID are included in the overall total because they may develop acute or severe symptoms of COVID-19 during their hospital stay, and the increase in resources needed to take care of these patients, such as additional personal protective equipment and dedicated wings, adds "strain to the hospital system which cannot be discounted," said Department of Health spokesperson Bruce Macfarlane.

No information about whether they tested positive upon admission or following their admission is provided. If they test positive after admission, "it does not necessarily indicate that this infection was acquired within hospital," said Macfarlane.

"Individuals may have been admitted carrying COVID-19 asymptomatically and developed symptoms post-admission, which led to testing."

The latest deaths include two people in their 70s and one in their 80s in the Moncton region, Zone 1, and one person in their 70s in the Saint John region, Zone 2, according to the COVID-19 dashboard.

No other information about them, such as any underlying health conditions or their vaccination status, has been released.

Their deaths mark 19 since the province returned to the less restrictive Level 2 of the COVID-19 winter plan on the weekend and raise the pandemic death toll to 247.

Three of the hospitalized people are 19 or under, a new category added to the COVID dashboard on Tuesday shows, and 121 are aged 60 or over.

Sixteen people are in intensive care — two in their 30s, two in their 40s, one in their 50s, three in their 60s, six in their 70s, and two in their 80s.

Five of them are on ventilators, a decrease of two...
