may notice a new trend among university students this fall — neon green bracelets. St. Francis Xavier University is using the brightly coloured bracelets to easily identify which students came from within the Atlantic bubble, or have completed their 14-day quarantine. The bracelets are required by both students and staff to access academic and administrative buildings, as well as for attending classes. Roughly 3,200 post-secondary students have arrived in Nova Scotia and 6,000 tests have been completed. If they lose their bracelet, students would have to verify that they have completed the above agreements, but Yeo said the bracelets won't come off unless they've been cut.
