The Moncton region’s enforcement will be stepped up, according to Dr Jennifer Russell, chief medical officer of health. “Moncton residents are in their fifth week of circuit-breaker procedures, and I understand that they are fatigued and upset; nonetheless, the issue of household gatherings and people not isolating is our primary source of concerns in that area.”
