While Premier Stephen McNeil said Nova Scotia is "not there yet," he told reporters in a July 31 COVID-19 briefing the province is looking into possible ways it could work. Raven Watts, a member of the group Parents for Pandemic Education, doesn't like the idea of reopening to provinces outside of the Atlantic bubble. Watts said the potential opening of the borders sends the message that the heath and safety of children in Nova Scotia is no longer the priority. He also said there are "many parts" of Canada doing just as well as Nova Scotia when it comes to controlling COVID-19. "We will continue monitoring the epidemiology here and in other provinces as we look at potentially expanding the Atlantic bubble."
