City of Saint John COVID-19 update: https://www.saintjohn.ca//enforcement-efforts-underway-to- - Mise à jour de la ville de Saint John COVID-19

SAINT JOHN TRANSIT UPDATE: Good news! Given the Saint John zone has returned to the yellow phase, we will be increasing the seated capacity on all buses, effective Friday, December 11. In order to do this, we all have a role to play: We continue to sanitize our buses daily and continue our COVID-19 safety measures to ensure the bus is a safe method of transportation for you. When on the bus, please always wear your mask! If you are medically exempt from wearing a mask, ...ensure you are allowing physical distancing to ensure other passengers feel safe on the bus. Please sit at least one row away from others. If a bus is too full to permit distancing when it arrives at your stop, you will be required to wear a mask or wait for the next bus. These changes are implemented in accordance with the Province of New Brunswick’s COVID-19 recovery phases. For more information on these phases, visit: https://bit.ly/3n27HoM. _________________________ La Zone 2 (Saint John) est de retour dans la phase jaune. Nous allons donc hausser la capacité d’accueil de nos autobus à compter du 11 décembre. Pour pouvoir le faire, nous devons tous être solidaires : Nos équipes continuent de désinfecter chaque jour les autobus et d’appliquer les mesures de protection contre la COVID-19 pour que l’autobus soit un moyen de transport sécuritaire pour vous. Dans l’autobus, soyez solidaires : portez le masque! Si vous êtes exempté(e), pour des raisons médicales, de l’obligation de porter le masque, assurez vous de respecter la distanciation physique pour veiller à ce que les autres passagers aient le sentiment d’être en sécurité dans l’autobus. Assoyez-vous à au moins une rangée à l’écart des autres. Si, en arrivant à votre arrêt, l’autobus est trop bondé pour respecter la distanciation, portez le masque ou attendez l’autobus suivant. Ces changements sont appliqués conformément aux phases du plan de rétablissement du gouvernement du Nouveau-Brunswick pendant la COVID-19.
