Effective Monday, with the start of March break, the Department of Education will no longer collect and share information about COVID-19 cases in the province's schools.

With this change, parents will no longer have to report to the school if their child tests positive.

New Brunswick is set to lift all COVID-19 restrictions on March 14th, and the Department of Education has been meeting with stakeholders to discuss the future of COVID-19 in New Brunswick schools.

Since the beginning of February, there have been nearly 10,000 cases of COVID-19 at the province's schools, including both students and staff.
