Nova Scotia's tightening of border restrictions on Thursday to allow only essential trips and returning permanent residents of the province to enter is being met with mixed reactions. The new restrictions apply to everyone crossing into Nova Scotia from all other places except Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island. Twenty-five new cases were reported in Nova Scotia on Wednesday. Amherst, N.S., Mayor Dave Kogon works as a doctor at the Moncton Hospital and lives in Nova Scotia. John Magalong said the Nova Scotia government told him an engineering exam was a valid reason to cross the border.
