Two out-of-province workers from Nova Scotia are calling on the provincial government to adjust their current COVID-19 isolation requirements to match those of New Brunswick or Prince Edward Island. In June, New Brunswick no longer required out-of-province workers to self-isolate and there are currently no known active cases in the province. But in Newfoundland and Labrador and Nova Scotia, out-of-province workers are required to isolate for the full 14 days. Still, Alexander said there are many out-of-province workers who can't see their families despite the strict measures. As of Tuesday afternoon, there only five active COVID-19 cases within the Atlantic bubble — two in Nova Scotia and three in Newfoundland and Labrador.
