Public Health is reporting another death due to COVID-19 in the province on Saturday, the fourth in two days.

The death was an individual in their 70s in the Fredericton region.

"Our thoughts are with this person's family and friends and with everyone who has lost a loved one or has gotten sick due to COVID-19," Premier Blaine Higgssaid in a statement posted to the province's website.

"We all owe it to them to do our part to protect each other by please, if you can, getting vaccinated."

Public Health is reporting 61 new cases of COVID-19 in the province on Saturday.

State of emergency redux

After only 57 days in the green phase, New Brunswick has re-entered a state of emergency, with the highest COVID-19 active case count the province has seen during the pandemic.

Higgs announced the return of the state of emergency and mandatory order Friday afternoon.

He said the growing number of both cases and hospitalizations presents a "serious and imminent risk" to New Brunswickers.

"The situation is serious and we need people to take it seriously."

The new mandatory order includes the reintroduction of the family bubblewith a steady 20 contacts.

This is in addition to other measures previously announced, like mandatory masks in indoor public spaces and providing proof of vaccination at most non-essential businesses.

Theorder will be implemented whenever COVID-19 hospitalizations reach 25. Theywill be rescinded whenever they go back down to 10.

More department closures

On Friday, the Horizon Health Network announced the temporary closure of the labour and birth unit of the Upper River Valley Hospital in Waterville.

The closure is expected to last until Tuesdayat 7 a.m.

The network said the closure is being done to adjust staffing because of the increasing number of COVID-19 patients at the hospital.

Patientsin labour are being directed to the Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital in Fredericton.
