Atlantic bubble safe as long as testing continues, says Dalhousie epidemiologist


A public health expert says people should enjoy freedom between provinces this summer, because a second surge could come in the fall. Susan Kirkland, head of public health and epidemiology at Dalhousie University in Halifax, said there is nothing unsafe about an Atlantic bubble as long as provinces continue testing and contact tracing, and people pay attention to the rules. "We're in unknown territory and we're pretty sure that we're going to see another surge in the fall," Kirkland told CBC News. On July 3, the Atlantic provinces will form a bubble allowing travel among the provinces with no need to self-isolate. "For the general public, I think it's relatively safe right now to be moving around as long we are doing the things we need to do."
