New Brunswick’s Social Development minister is dismissing calls for an independent investigation into the COVID-19 outbreak at the Drew Nursing Home in Sackville.
Thirty residents and 10 employees have tested positive so far and eight residents have died.
Bruce Fitch says an investigation would be a wasteful exercise in finger-pointing.
“I think when you look at the amount of resources that have been put towards the various outbreaks, again, that is an appropriate response,” he said Wednesday.
“Sometimes the outcomes are very, very positive. And sometimes, unfortunately with this delta [variant] … people were asymptomatic and they had COVID and they were going to work and it was being passed around.”
Megan Mitton, the MLA for Memramcook-Tantramar and the Green Party’s health critic, called for a probe of the Drew outbreak Tuesday and for the government to be more transparent about outbreaks at other facilities.
She contends questions should be answered publicly about whether the response was adequate and whether nursing home COVID protocols, such as containment measures, should be strengthened to better deal with the highly transmissible delta variant.
Fitch argues it’s easy to criticize after the fact and say the government should have done something different.
“Again, I go to the fact that this variant was a variant that was stronger, spread faster, created more spread if you weren’t vaccinated.”
The support team at the Drew Nursing Home has included staff from Social Development and Public Health, other nursing homes, retired nurses, infection control specialists and the Red Cross, he said.
A total of 16 rapid response teams are currently deployed across the province to help manage outbreaks, Fitch said.
“And you know, I think if someone was looking to help, they should be trying to support facilities like the nursing homes in their areas, and trying to promote the vaccination and trying to make sure that people protect themselves, their families and the people that they work with.”
On Tuesday, in response to Mitton, Health Minister Dorothy Shephard said the government evaluates every outbreak and has been “very transparent.”
“If they can’t get answers to their questions, we could take it under advisement. But I’m not sure of any questions that they would ask that we wouldn’t answer,” she said.
1,092 active cases
Public Health reported 109 new cases of COVID-19 on Tuesday, putting the active case count at 1,092.
Sixty-three people are in hospital with the virus, 27 of them in intensive care. One of the people hospitalized is under the age of 19.
As of Tuesday, 81.6 per cent of New Brunswickers age 12 and older are fully vaccinated, while 90.8 per cent have received their first dose.
New Brunswick has had 5,367 confirmed cases of COVID-19 since the pandemic began, with 4,199 recoveries so far and 75 COVID-related deaths.
A total of 493,631 tests have been conducted to date.
Horizon enters ‘red alert’ phase
All Horizon Health Network hospitals and health-care centres moved to the COVID-19 “red alert” level Wednesday in order to redeploy staff to maintain emergency services and intensive care units to care for a growing number of COVID-19 patients and others who are critically ill.
Some non-urgent elective surgeries, medical procedures and outpatient appointments may need to be postponed as well.
Patients and clients who are affected will be contacted directly by Horizon or their health-care provider, officials have said. Otherwise, people should attend their appointments, as scheduled.
Outpatient appointments include: appointments at ambulatory outpatient clinics and professional services outpatient appointments, such as therapeutic services, blood and specimen collection, diagnostic imaging (X-ray), electrodiagnostics and respiratory therapy, the release said.
All Vitalité Health Network hospitals moved to the red alert level Tuesday.
Both Horizon and Vitalité have also suspended all hospital visits.
Ambulance New Brunswick is also moving to the red alert level to help maintain essential services and ensure services are redeployed as needed, Health Minister Dorothy Shephard announced Tuesday.

What to do if you have a symptom
People concerned they might have COVID-19 can take a self-assessment test online.
Public Health says symptoms of the illness have included a fever above 38 C, a new or worsening cough, sore throat, runny nose, headache, a new onset of fatigue, and difficulty breathing.
In children, symptoms have also included purple markings on the fingers and toes.
People with one of those symptoms should stay at home, call 811 or their doctor and follow instructions.
