A big milestone today in Newfoundland and Labrador’s reopening plan as the province opens up to the rest of Atlantic Canada.
As of today, the province has dropped isolation requirements for residents of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and PEI. This marks the first time travellers from those areas can come freely to this province since last November.
Premier Andrew Furey believes the province is ready to begin reopening.
He says the province is prepared for the Atlantic bubble; equally as important is that the province is ready to open to the rest of the country on Canada Day.
Meanwhile, the province’s Tourism Minister doesn’t have any official estimates yet for how many people the province is expecting come July first.
However, Steve Crocker points to activity in the airline industry as a good indicator as he has seen more flights coming back into service, so “the numbers must be building.” He says the real measure of how many people will come here is the success of the aviation sector.
