A positive case has also been confirmed at a nursing home in the Moncton region, CBC News has learned. Health officials did not immediately respond to a request to clarify whether it's included among the reported cases.
Of the 35 new cases, 30 of them – or 86 per cent – are not fully vaccinated. Health officials did not say how many of them are under 12 and too young to be vaccinated or can't be vaccinated for medical or other reasons.
"Today, we are seeing confirmed cases in every region of the province and continuing to see an epidemic among the unvaccinated — those who have chosen to remain unvaccinated as well as those who are not yet eligible," Dr. Jennifer Russell, the chief medical officer of health, said in a statement.
"It is imperative we have as many New Brunswickers vaccinated as possible.".
