An all-party cabinet committee has made the decision to close New Brunswick public schools for two weeks.

This is effective Monday, March 16.

This is in response to concerns over COVID-19, and will be reassessed on an ongoing basis.

This was the first meeting of the all-party cabinet committee, with the collective goal of minimizing the spread of COVID-19.

At this time, early learning and child-care facilities, including those located in schools, are not being closed.

If you have travelled internationally on or after March 9, you are still being asked to avoid early learning and childcare centres for a period of 14 days.

Questions can be directed to 1-844-288-3888.
