New Brunswick Border Restrictions Reinstated
April 13, 2021 - 11:51 AM
Restrictions on the New Brunswick border will be reinstated Thursday, April 15, at 8 a.m., Premier Iain Rankin and Dr. Robert Strang, Nova Scotia’s chief medical officer of health, announced today, April 13.
“We are seeing the increased cases in New Brunswick and we are also seeing the presence of variants in the Saint John area. Out of an abundance of caution, we have decided to reinstate our border restrictions to help prevent the spread of COVID-19,” said Premier Rankin. “As I have said before, we follow the science and public health guidance. When we see changes, we act. This is a reminder of how quickly the situation can change with this virus. We ask Nova Scotians to remain vigilant with all the public health measures.”
Currently, P.E.I.'s only direct connection to the mainland is with New Brunswick via Confederation Bridge. There are no regional flights operating out of the airport, and the seasonal ferry service that connects the Island to Nova Scotia does not start until May 1
