CAMPBELLTON SETS UP TESTING IN LOCAL ARENAS

Testing for the novel coronavirus has been ramped up in the Campbellton, N.B., with two arenas becoming makeshift testing centres after officials confirmed a health- care professional travelled to Quebec and returned to work without self- isolating. The worker has tested positive for COVID-19, and he has been linked to eight cases, two of them requiring intensive care. The number is expected to

rise as he came in contact with more than 100 people.“We were expecting we would have a fallback at some time or another. Did we expect that? This is probably the worst scenario we could have had,” said Gilles Lanteigne, president and CEO of the Vitalite Health Network. Premier Blaine Higgs has criticized the worker at the centre of the cluster as “irresponsible.”
