Nb Reports 4 More Deaths From Covid 19 Increase In Hospital Admissions Active Hospitalizations

The latest deaths include a person in their 60s, a person in their 70s, a person in their 80s and a person in their 90s and older, according to Tuesday’s COVIDWatch report. Their deaths bring the province’s pandemic death toll to 466. Thirty-one people were hospitalized for COVID-19 between August 21 and August 27. This is up from 22 in the previous week’s report. There are 33 people currently hospitalized with the virus, up from 21, according to the province. Four people need intensive care, one each. The increase in hospitalizations, after several weeks of declines, is “a bit of a surprise,” said the deputy chief medical officer of health, Dr. Yves Léger. “So we are working with her [regional health authorities] to try to better understand what some of the drivers are that are happening there,” he said. “So we’re going to try to dig deeper into those numbers this week.” Dr. Yves Léger, deputy chief medical officer of health, said that COVID-19 will be here for the foreseeable future and there will be times when activity increases, where the risk of exposure is higher, but officials can’t always predict exactly when that will happen. . (Pascal Raiche-Nogue/Radio-Canada) Meanwhile, regional health authorities, which include in their weekly reports people admitted to hospital because of COVID-19, as well as people who were initially admitted for another reason and later tested positive for the virus, say there are 99 New Brunswickers who hospitalized either for or with COVID-19, five of whom require intensive care, a slight decrease from last week. Horizon Health Network reports 71 active COVID-19 hospital admissions, including three patients in intensive care, as of Saturday. That’s down from 95 and six respectively in last Tuesday’s report. Vitalité Health Network reports 28 hospitalized COVID-19 patients, compared to 18 a week ago — a 55 percent increase. Two people are in intensive care, up from one, the weekly COVID dashboard shows. Among those hospitalized are a child under the age of 10 and a child between the ages of 10 and 19, according to the provincial report. Those admitted to the ICU include one person in their 50s, two in their 60s and one in their 70s. “The largest proportion of hospitalizations for COVID-19 are among people aged 70-89,” the report says. “Vaccine-unprotected individuals continue to have the highest rate of hospitalizations for COVID-19 and ICU admissions.” Asked if people returning from out-of-province vacations could be a factor in the increased hospitalizations, Léger said that if that were the case, he would expect to see an increase in new COVID cases as well. “It’s a bit confusing what we’ve got this week where the case numbers are down but our hospitalizations are up again, we’ll really have to go back and work with the RHAs to investigate that further,” he said. he said.

1,398 new cases

A total of 1,398 new cases of COVID-19 were reported last week, up from 1,513 in the previous report. This includes 712 cases confirmed through a PCR (polymerase chain reaction) laboratory test, out of 797, and 686 people who reported positive in a rapid test, out of 716. Moncton, Zone 1, has a third of the cases, at 464, followed by Fredericton, Zone 3, with 386, Bathurst, Zone 6, with 185, Saint John, Zone 2, with 167, Edmundston District, Zone 4, with 95, Miramichi District, Zone 7, with 53, and Campbellton District, Zone 5, with 48. Fewer PCR tests were conducted last week — 4,798, down from 5,059 the previous week, putting the positivity rate at about 15 percent. There are now 1,072 active cases of COVID in the province, based on PCR testing alone. Of the most recent random samples sent for sequencing, 82 percent were the Omicron BA.5 subvariant and the other 18 percent were the Omicron BA.4 subvariant.

Fall growth is difficult to predict

It is difficult to predict the number of cases for the fall, Léger said. “The increases that we saw this summer were a little earlier than we thought would happen. So, COVID will still, you know, play tricks on us from time to time.” He is not aware of any fall COVID-19 modeling, he said, but an increase in COVID-19 activity is likely with the change of seasons and the start of school. “When that will happen or how much remains to be seen,” he said.

Masks are “encouraged” in schools

The Ministry of Education has said there will be no mask or distancing orders when schools reopen on September 6, while some universities have opted to keep masks mandatory. Asked what the Public Health recommendation was for masks in schools, Léger did not directly answer the question. “The school year is going to be a lot like last year with, you know, individuals being able to choose whether or not they want to use the measures that we’ve all learned to use for the last 2½ years,” he said. . Among them, he listed wearing a mask indoors, keeping social contact low and socializing outdoors when possible. “Public Health continues to strongly encourage individuals to consider using these measures to protect themselves from COVID.” Pressing further on the Public Health mask recommendation, Léger reiterated: “We continue to encourage individuals to make decisions for themselves.”
