The public is being asked to reduce visits to the emergency department at Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont University Hospital Centre.
This temporary measure is due to a lack of nursing staff in the hospital facility.
This will be in effect from Friday, July 1, to Monday, July 4.
The emergency department at the hospital will remain available for people who need urgent care and who wish to see a doctor.
The Vitalité Health Network is asking that people whose health condition is not critical to see their family doctor, or their community pharmacist, call Tele-Care (811) or contact eVisitNB (evisitnb.ca) to book a virtual appointment.
Those who still come to the Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont UHC emergency department for non-urgent reasons may be referred to another hospital or asked to return the next day if their condition permits.
