New Brunswick's chief medical officer of health Dr. Jennifer Russell and Premier Blaine Higgs held a COVID-19 briefing on Wednesday to provide an update on the province's ongoing response.

During the briefing, Russell said that there were still no new cases for a seventh day straight, a week after the province reported its last new case. Of the 120 cases in the province, two remain active.

Russell also said she was happy to see people wearing a mask in public, but cautioned that it should not be used as a replacement for physical distancing. She advised that as the province continues to slowly reopen, people should remember to wear face coverings when in places where proper physical distancing may not be possible, but advised not to wear them all the time or an extended period.

The premier also spoke about the province's borders during Wednesday's briefing and said police remain at the borders to stop unnecessary travel into the province.
