Travellers from New Brunswick will once again have to self-isolate for 14 days when they enter Nova Scotia.
The change will take effect at 8 a.m. on Thursday, Nova Scotia Premier Iain Rankin announced during a COVID-19 briefing on Tuesday.
Rankin said the renewed requirement for self-isolation was prompted by the increase in case numbers in New Brunswick, including a variant cluster in Edmundston, variant cases in Saint John and cases that are under investigation in the Moncton area. The cases near Moncton are not necessarily connected to the Edmundston outbreak, Rankin said.
