N.B. changes definitions of COVID deaths and hospitalizations, launches Respiratory Watch
New Brunswick has revamped the way it reports on COVID-19 again, including the launch of a new Respiratory Watch report that combines updates on both COVID-19 and influenza, and new definitions of COVID deaths and hospitalizations.
“With the arrival of the new respiratory illness season, it makes sense to monitor both of these diseases together so that New Brunswickers can be informed of the impacts these diseases are having on the health of the population,” Dr. Jennifer Russell, chief medical officer of health, said in a statement.
The respiratory report, which is located on the province’s COVID-19 site, also includes only seasonal vaccination data and has a section dedicated to nursing home outbreaks.
The new format reflects similar reporting approaches in other provinces, including British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, and Saskatchewan, Russell said.
A COVID death is now defined as “a confirmed case who was admitted to hospital and whose death occurred during their stay.”
“A death due to COVID-19 or influenza does not mean that it was necessarily the primary or contributing factor to the cause of death,” Health Department spokesperson Sean Hatchard said in an emailed statement. “Therefore, only deaths that occur in hospital will be reported.”
Since March 2022, Public Health has been reporting COVID deaths as those where the virus was either the primary cause of death or a directly contributing factor.
Previously, the province used the national surveillance case definition for a deceased COVID-19 case: a probable or confirmed COVID-19 case whose death resulted from a clinically compatible illness, unless a clear alternative cause of death is identified, such as trauma, poisoning, or drug overdose.
Deaths that occur outside hospital are subject to a reporting lag that can last months, said Hatchard, while in-hospital deaths are “a more timely indicator for disease severity.”
The pandemic death toll of 935 has also been dropped and replaced with a respiratory season total of zero.
Back to counting hospitalized ‘for’ and ‘with’ COVID
COVID hospitalizations, meanwhile, now include patients who have been hospitalized both for and with COVID-19, rather than only those who have been hospitalized because of complications from the disease.
“The department recognizes that both types of patients have an impact on the system,” said Hatchard.
Since April 2022, the province has been counting only people who were hospitalized because of the virus. People who were initially admitted to hospital for another reason and later tested positive for COVID were no longer included.
No deaths, 44 COVID hospitalizations, cases up
According to the new report, no COVID deaths occurred between Aug. 27 and Sept. 2.
That’s down from seven COVID deaths in the previous COVIDWatch report, which covered July 23 to Aug. 26.
While COVIDWatch provided only three age categories for deaths, with the youngest being under 50, Respiratory Watch includes five age categories — under four, five to 19, 20 to 44, 45 to 64, and 65 and older.
Forty-four people were hospitalized for or with COVID-19 during the latest reporting week, including one person who required intensive care, up from the 24 admitted to hospital because of the virus in the previous report.
One person was aged 20 to 44, three were 45 to 64 and the other 40 were 65 or older, including the one in ICU.
250% jump in hospitalizations at Horizon
Horizon Health Network, meanwhile, has seen a 250 per cent jump in the number of people it has hospitalized for or with COVID-19 in the past two weeks, its updated COVID-19 dashboard shows.
It has 42 active COVID-19 hospitalizations, as of Sept. 9, up from 12 on Aug. 26. Two people are in intensive care, up from one.
Vitalité has not updated its COVID website. Although the province and Horizon have both switched to bimonthly reports, as of Tuesday, it plans to continue with monthly updates “for the time being,” an unidentified spokesperson told CBC.
Horizon also reported COVID outbreaks on six hospital units, up from none, and 21 health-care workers off the job because they tested positive for the virus, up from 11.
A total of 95 new lab-confirmed cases of COVID have been reported across New Brunswick, an increase from the previous report week.
The positivity rate also increased, to 14 per cent, and eight lab-confirmed outbreaks were declared.
COVID activity is described as “moderate.”
No influenza activity has been recorded yet this respiratory season, which began Aug. 27.
Vaccination rate changes
As for vaccination data, the department will focus on how many people have received a vaccine for COVID-19 or influenza within the current respiratory illness season.
This is “in order to portray the level of protection in the community,” Hatchard said.
The statistics aren’t available on the Respiratory Watch page yet, but 31,113 COVID-19 vaccine doses have been administered between March 12 and Sept. 11, according to Hatchard. He did not provide the total eligible population.
On Tuesday, Health Canada approved Moderna’s updated COVID-19 vaccine, which targets the Omicron XBB.1.5 subvariant, for all Canadians six months or older.
Health Canada said Canadians age five and up should receive one dose. Children from six months to four years old should receive two doses if they have never had a COVID vaccine, or one dose if they’ve had at least one dose.
Public Health will be offering eligible New Brunswickers vaccines for COVID-19 and influenza this fall, said Russell. She could not provide details.
“In the meantime, Public Health recommends that patients speak with their health-care provider to determine the level of risk they may face if they choose to wait for the new vaccination formulation to arrive,” Russell said.
As it stands, the only New Brunswickers eligible since July 1 have been those aged 65 and older or those 18 and older who are moderately to severely immunocompromised, who did not receive a spring booster and whose last shot or infection was at least five months ago, and new residents of long-term care facilities aged 18 and older who did not receive a spring booster and whose last shot and/or infection was at least five months ago.
Health Canada is still reviewing updated vaccines from other companies, including Pfizer-BioNTech’s Omicron XBB.1.5 vaccine for Canadians aged six months and older and Novavax’s shot for people aged 12 and older.
Nursing home outbreaks
Lab-confirmed COVID outbreaks were reported at two unidentified nursing homes in the province Aug. 27 to Sept. 2, while six outbreaks were reported in “other” vulnerable settings, the report shows. No other details are provided.
An outbreak is defined as two or more positive cases among residents or staff with an epidemiological link within 10 days.
Info on positive rapid tests and sequencing dropped
Submitted positive rapid test results will not be posted on the Respiratory Watch page.
“Now that the COVID-19 state of emergency has ended the department feels regular reporting of this information is no longer required,” said Hatchard.
In addition, the province is no longer including sequencing breakdowns for COVID-19.
Public Health will only confirm the presence or non-presence of a subvariant upon request, said Hatchard.
“It should be noted, however, that if the situation was to change, and a new subvariant was to emerge and pose more severe health risks to New Brunswickers, Public Health would inform the population as needed,” he said.
On Monday, Hatchard confirmed the highly mutated new Omicron variant BA.2.86 has not been detected in the province. “Nearly all circulating strains are of the XBB family,” he said.
The first Canadian case of BA.2.86, which has health experts watching closely� because of its high number of mutations, was recently confirmed in British Columbia. So far, it does not appear to be more severe.

Product Name: InnaPeace™ – Official – Brainwave Research UK
InnaPeace™ is a series of CD-quality audio tracks with soothing sounds of nature and pleasant tones for relaxation and meditation.
Embedded within each progressively deeper track are multiple proven Brainwave Guidance (BWG) technologies. These BWG components are virtually inaudible to the ear, yet harmlessly absorbed by the brain.
Each deeper InnaPeace™ track also includes comprehensive support material, a document which explains how to achieve the maximum benefits from this breakthrough brainwave guidance technology and what to expect at each stage.
The brainwave guidance technology (3xPureTone™) built into InnaPeace™ is so cutting-edge, it’s unlike anything else in many respects.
Now here’s an illustration of the brain before and after using InnaPeace™ brainwave guidance technology. It shows the process of synchronising the brain’s activity into alignment toward whole-brain-thinking:
Each InnaPeace™ brainwave guidance audio track contains a different target brainwave frequency, which takes you into deeper states of meditation as you progress through the program.
Much like you don’t become an athlete overnight, your brain needs time to develop.
When starting an exercise program, your muscles, heart and lungs can only handle so much. You start slow and work your way up to higher intensity.
InnaPeace™ strengthens and develops your brain similarly, starting with the higher Alpha frequencies … then deeper into Theta … eventually even deeper into Delta.
The following chart shows the 4 mental states and their associated brainwave patterns as InnaPeace™ takes you deeper into meditation:
You’ll receive 64 regular and timely monthly support letters that keep you on the right path and guarantee you the maximum benefits from your InnaPeace brainwave guidance experience. In other words “We walk with you step-by-step throughout your progressive InnaPeace journey”.
Superior 3xPureTone™ Brainwave Guidance Audio Technology
3xPureTone™ brainwave guidance technology (used in InnaPeace) is unlike anything else.
While the majority of developers of brainwave guidance sessions include multiple target brainwave frequencies within a single session, we only use one pure frequency in each session, for example, 12Hz throughout the whole session.
The science of brainwave entrainment says that it takes approximately 7 minutes for the human brain to “entrain” to an external frequency. When one or multiple frequencies are moving up and down or changing, it’s not possible for the brain to (lock on) entrain to any specific target frequency.
This is why Brainwave Research UK only use one specific frequency on each InnaPeace session. The target is easy for the brain to entrain to offering the listener the benefit of easily entering in to the chosen brainwave range every time faster and more efficiently.
The other important difference is that we not only use Binaural Beat technology (which makes up 90% of similar brainwave sessions), we also combine Monaural tones and Isochronic tones together. This 3 pronged entrainment approach is another reason why the 3xPureTone™ brainwave guidance technology offers the listener so many more benefits than simple Binaural Beat technology.
Finally, we only offer our brainwave technology in the highest possible MP3 quality (320Kbps). The majority of brainwave sessions available online are highly compressed so that the file sizes are lower and easier to transmit online.
The problem with this compression is it basically snips away part of the files and in the case of brainwave sessions, part of the brainwave technology is snipped away too. This compression (snipping away) renders the brainwave entrainment technology less effective the more the file is compressed.
(For example: if you ever tried a brainwave guidance session from YouTube, that would have been output to you at the highly compressed 126Kbps audio rate making the brainwave session much less effective because almost 2/3 of the brainwave audio technology was snipped away during the compression process)
This is why we only offer the maximum quality possible MP3 files, it’s the final reason that make our 3xPureTone™ brainwave guidance InnaPeace sessions light years ahead of anything else you may have tried before.

“I noticed myself experiencing genuine peace, calm, and awareness just minutes into an InnaPeace session”
I am an auditory neuroscientist by training and have been practicing meditation for years.
Based on mounting evidence in the field of neuroscience and my own personal practice, I am a firm believer in the many benefits meditation can have on the mind and our consciousness. For obvious reasons, I was interested in the InnaPeace brainwave technology and how it might impact my own personal journey.
The primary thing I noticed from the audio brainwave program was how it enabled me to more quickly settle into a peaceful and mindful space.
With my conventional approaches, it often takes 30 minutes or more for me to detach from the flurry of daily thoughts and anxieties. Increasingly as I progressed through the program I noticed myself experiencing genuine peace, calm, and awareness just minutes into a session.
More importantly, I became more adept at taking this feeling of interconnectedness and wellbeing from the cushion to my daily activities. After all, isn’t that the goal?
I am in less of a hurry these days and more tuned into the present moment, nature, and those around me.
Given the busy lifestyle many of us lead these days, few have time to devote hours a day to mindfulness practices and traditional meditation. InnaPeace in my mind is an invaluable tool to help us more quickly access an awakened state that can be elusive to even the seasoned meditator.
But don’t take my word for it, life’s a journey … find out for yourself!
