SYDNEY, N.S. --
With the Nova Scotia government advising people not to travel to and from Halifax and some other counties, the effects of those restrictions are being felt well beyond the near-lockdown zone.
"I support it overall, but a little sad that I won't get to see my family in the next four weeks," said Jeannine McNeil, a Cape Bretoner living in Halifax. She feels the new restrictions are the right move, but she's disappointed she won't be able to get together in-person with family back home for the next while.
"You know what, I may have actually gone home to surprise my mom for Mother's Day, because that would have been a nice thing to do," McNeil said. "And as well, there would have been some work I was doing with the CBU alumni board that I was going there in person for, so those options just aren't available right now."
