FREDERICTON – Health authorities in New Brunswick are reporting four new cases of COVID-19 in the province.
The province’s Health Department says two cases involve people in their 40s in the Moncton area and are related to international travel.
The other two cases are in the Fredericton area and involve children under the age of 10, contacts of a previously announced infection.
