The area in which the Red level applies in Zone 4 (Edmundston region) has been extended. Saint-Léonard, Grand Falls, Drummond, New Denmark and Four Falls are now included along with the previously indicated areas of Edmundston and the upper Madawaska region.

Public Health made the recommendation to the all-party cabinet committee on COVID-19 and to cabinet to extend the area in which the Red level applies, with the exception of the Saint-Quentin and Kedgwick regions, based on the confirmed presence of the more contagious variants of COVID-19 along with the possibility of community transmission.

A total of 3,335 asymptomatic individuals were screened over a two-day period, March 25 and 26, in Zone 4 (Edmundston region). Test results from both days resulted in three laboratory confirmed cases. This is in addition to other cases that have been confirmed with people presenting with symptoms.
