How the Zone 4 Edmundston Area lockdown will work

The lockdown, which takes effect Saturday night at midnight, will be in effect for 14 days and will be reassessed every seven days.

Health Minister Dorothy Shephard, speaking at the Friday update on COVID-19, said the decision to postpone the start of the lockdown to Saturday was to allow residents get the supplies they need before businesses close and to give businesses and the Department of Public Safety time to prepare for the new rules.
