COVID-19 recovery plan for N.B. begins with 2-household ‘bubbles’ but mass gatherings may wait a year

Province marks 6th straight day with no new cases of virus, but bars and sports may need to wait for vaccine.

By Bobbi-Jean MacKinnon: “Within two to four weeks, provided there is no significant new wave of the virus, up to 10 people will be allowed to gather, as long as they maintain a physical distance of at least six feet or two metres.

If all goes well, “progressively,” people will be able to extend their “bubbles” to include more family and friends and gatherings of up to 50 people will be allowed.

But mass gatherings are still “to be determined.”

There won’t be any concerts or festivals for at least the rest of the year, Higgs said, and bars and organized sports may not be able to start up again until a vaccine is available, which could take 12 to 18 months.”
