Some Nova Scotians who recently drove home through the New Brunswick border say they're surprised at how little COVID-19 screening happens before they're waved through. Tony Haylock, a big rig mechanic, works on both sides of the Nova Scotia-New Brunswick border and crosses it every day. Unlike their counterparts in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia conservation officers — reassigned to border patrol by the Department of Lands and Forestry — have been granted no authority to turn anyone away. We've told Nova Scotians to go home and self-isolate and we'll continue to move along the path we're on with the focus on the health and safety of Nova Scotians." Officials stop a vehicle at the Nova Scotia-New Brunswick border to notify of self-isolation orders that apply under Nova Scotia's state of emergency.
