Both Tim Houston of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick's Blaine Higgs told CBC News this weekend that closing interprovincial and national borders isn't a good move. "The reality is the variant is in Nova Scotia. It's moving within Nova Scotia, so there's no point in trying to take some action to keep it out," Houston told CBC's The House on Saturday. There were no new cases of Omicron reported in the province Sunday, leaving the number of Omicron cases at 30. The province also announced schools will open Monday — unless they've already been closed — but classes are cancelled for Tuesday and Wednesday.
