Four new cases in the Moncton region (Zone 1), all related to travel.
One new case in the Fredericton region (Zone 3), related to travel.

Russell also announced a previously reported case in the Moncton region (Zone 1), has been removed from the province's reporting, due to a false positive test.
"As the only thing that is predictable about this pandemic is its unpredictability, we must continue to be flexible," said Russell. "There will be more outbreaks and other challenges along the way, and when they occur we must respond surely and swiftly. We ask all New Brunswickers to be flexible as well, because that is how we will keep one another healthy and safe."
Of the province's 126 active cases, 100 are located in the Edmundston region, which has seen 73 new cases in the last six days, and went into a 'Red level circuit breaker' on March 25.
The province also announced on Monday that it was expanding the area covered by the Red level in Zone 4 (the Edmundston region).
"The circuit breaker for Zone 4 is working, but more time is needed to see it's full effect," said Russell on Tuesday. "We will continue to assess it's impact and determine when and how restrictions can be modified."
