Nova Scotia has opened up its borders to Canada.
We are now in Phase 3 of our reopening plan and fully immunized people from provinces or territories outside of Atlantic Canada can come to Nova Scotia without having to self-isolate.
That means two weeks following a second dose of COVID-19, friends and family living in other parts of the country can visit us and we can hop on a plane and go see them without having to quarantine upon return.
It s been well over a year since most of us have needed to go to Halifax Stanfield International Airport and, like every other facility, COVID-19 has changed the way it operates.

HALIFAX - The chief executive of Atlantic Canada s largest airport is hoping for COVID-19 testing for arriving passengers sooner rather than later, as an added measure to combat Nova Scotia s third wave of the pandemic.
The Halifax International Airport Authority first proposed the testing system at Stanfield International Airport in January. The current system, which has been used for temporary foreign workers, sends the incoming passengers to a designated area for testing before they leave the building.
