With COVID-19 cases surging in parts of New Brunswick, some people in Nova Scotia have been changing their Thanksgiving weekend plans, hoping to reduce their own risk of exposure to the virus and protect the relative safety of the Atlantic bubble. Wilson, who lives in Halifax, travelled to Moncton on Friday before New Brunswick health officials asked non-essential visitors to stay away from that region. Nova Scotia's government is the only one inside the Atlantic bubble that has not yet issued special guidelines for travellers from New Brunswick's two viral hot zones. "But in the same breath, I still think that it's incredible how successful the Atlantic bubble has been." Since the Atlantic bubble opened in the summer, Kogon said long waits had become a major headache and business constraint for people in Amherst.
