An 84-year-old long-term care home resident is the first person in New Brunswick to die of COVID-19. New Brunswickers must wear a face covering to enter buildings open to the general public, starting Tuesday, the province has announced.The state of emergency declaration was revised Friday to require people to wear a mask that covers their mouth and nose upon entering buildings, such as stores and restaurants."Once inside the building and if you are able to maintain physical distancing of two metres, the mask can be removed," the government clarified in a tweet shortly after 6 p.m., nearly four hours after the news release was issued.Children under the age of two, children attending licensed early education and child-care facilities, and anyone unable to wear face coverings due to medical issues are exempt from the order.Up until now, face coverings were only required in locations where keeping a physical distance of six feet, or two metres, was not possible.
