Public Health has updated the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the province.

In a release issued Friday afternoon, Public Health says there is one new confirmed case of the virus, bringing the total to 112.

Public Health says the new case is an individual in Zone 2, Saint John region, aged between 60 and 69-years-old.

Of the 112 cases, 63 are deemed to be travel-related, with 35 deemed to be close contacts of other confirmed cases.

The release states there have been six cases of community transmission and the remaining eight are still being investigated to determine their origin.

60 people have made recoveries from COVID-19 so far in New Brunswick.

In the release, New Brunswickâ€™s Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Jennifer Russell, reiterated the importance of staying home, despite the Easter holiday.

She said, â€œIt is difficult to not visit our parents, other family members and friends but it would be more difficult to see them become sick because of a decision that was made not to stay home.â€

The Premier echoed that sentiment and urged New Brunswickers to remember the provinceâ€™s COVID-19 projections and the role we must all play to keep the numbers as low as possible.

To date, ten people have been hospitalized, with five since discharged.

Out of the five patients that remain in hospital, three are in an intensive care unit.
