FREDERICTON – New Brunswick is reporting 53 new cases of COVID-19 ahead of Monday’s the opening of the Canada-U.S. land border.

Officials say travellers entering the province from Maine and other U.S. states will be held to new federal requirements, which include full vaccination against the disease and a negative PCR test result.

Travellers will also need to register their trips with New Brunswick online.
