New Brunswick reported 98 new COVID-19 cases and one new death on Monday.

Public Health confirmed that a person 70 to 79 from the Saint John region has died.

The total active case count is 1,037 and the numbers of deaths due to COVID-19 is 75.

As of Monday, 90.7 per cent of eligible New Brunswickers have received their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine and 81.5 per cent are fully vaccinated.

There are56people hospitalized due to the coronavirus,20 of whom are in intensive care. One person under the age of 19 is hospitalized.

Of those in hospital,44are unvaccinated, threeare partially vaccinated and nine are fully vaccinated.

Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Jennifer Russell said that as more people get vaccinated, the proportion of breakthrough cases is expected to increase.

Impact of circuit-breaker too early to tell: Russell

New Brunswickers were instructed to refrain from holding gatherings this Thanksgiving weekend as part of a set of "circuit-breaker"restrictions. Russell said that she has not heard from the Public Safety Department about whether the rules were abided by this weekend. She saidit's too early to judge whether the restrictions were effective.

"Time will tell if we're really turning the corner," said Russell.

On Sunday, peace officers were on scene at the His Tabernacle Family Church in Saint John after the church was ticketed last week for violating the province's emergency order. Parishioners were seen on Sunday entering and exiting the church without masks or physicallydistancing.

Russell said the province is taking an "educative and supporting approach" when it comes to the implementation of new measures.

"Then it escalates tomore severe consequences in terms of fines," said Russell.

Provincewide Thanksgiving holiday restrictions will end Monday at 11:59 p.m.They will last for at least 14 daysinZone 1, as far north as and including Sainte-Anne-de-Kent and including Havelock in Zone 2, the northern portion of Zone 3 from and including Deerville and Florenceville-Bristol, all of Zone 4 (Edmundston region) and Menneval in Zone 5.

In regions under the restrictions, gatherings in private homes or outside with members not from the same household are prohibited, and travel to or from regions is restricted except for essential reasons, which includes work, school and health appointments.
