Circuit breaker extended one more week<\/h3>\n

The circuit breaker restrictions in place in Zone 1 have been extended another week. Since Oct. 8, people in the Moncton region have been living with a single household bubble which applies to private gatherings. Public gatherings in restaurants and regulated public spaces are still permitted among households. Restrictions in the Saint John region were also extended, but the other circuit breaker areas will end special restrictions as of 6 p.m. tonight.<\/p>\n

The province announced 39 new cases of COVID-19 on Thursday, and the active case count inched up slightly to 464. Zone 1 continues to have cases reported from an unknown origin. Out of nine new cases in Zone 1 yesterday, six are under investigation, two are contacts of previously confirmed cases and one is travel related.<\/p>\n

When council meets on Monday, recreation director Matt Pryde is hoping to get the go ahead on two projects he has recently taken on: first, Moonlight Madness is coming on November 19 and December 3, and this year the annual event is being organized by Pryde and his department. The plan involves closing some streets, and setting off a fireworks display postponed after the cancellation of the Fall Fair.<\/p>\n

Second, Pryde is hoping for council approval to hire Newline Skateparks to study the options for a new concrete skatepark for Sackville. Matt Pryde is on Tantramar Report to give more details about both projects.<\/p>\n
