Nova Scotia has tightened its border controls due to the recent surge in cases in Newfoundland and Labrador.
Anyone entering Nova Scotia from Newfoundland and Labrador must self-isolate for 14 days upon arrival. That includes Nova Scotians returning home from this province.
Premier Stephen McNeil refers to the latest outbreak in Eastern Newfoundland as an example of how quickly COVID-19 can take hold.
The new restrictions come into effect at 8 a.m., Atlantic Standard Time.
