At a press briefing on Friday, Premier Stephen McNeil said the province will be doing more to check in on visitors to make sure they're self-isolating. "There are lots of stories, circulating conversations on social media about Americans and others coming into our province and not self-isolating," McNeil. McNeil said the province would take identification, phone numbers and addresses of visitors from outside the Atlantic bubble. Premier Stephen McNeil said the province would be 'ramping up' its calls on check-ins to make sure visitors from outside Atlantic Canada are self-isolating upon arrival.
