Today in the #AtlanticBubble

There were 5 new cases reported in the Bubble today: 1 in NS, and 2 each in New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador.

All of the new cases in NB and NFLD are travel-related and were already isolating.

The case in Nova Scotia is in the Central Zone (Halifax) and is still under investigation. This is somewhat worrying, as it represents the 4th case in the last few days in Halifax that doesn't seem to have a confirmed link to travel.

"Do we have community spread?!?"

We only know about the cases we know about. It's possible that these four cases are all linked to the same index case. Or it's worse than that. Public Health is probably trying to figure that out now.

With that NS Health has issued two new exposure alerts for Halifax:

1) The Bitter End on Argyle on 02NOV2020 (Monday) from 9-11pm.

2) The Clayton Park Sobeys on 03NOV2020 (Tuesday) from 12-1pm.

If you were at either location on those dates/times, isolate and call 811.

Remember to continue distancing and wearing a mask indoors and when distancing isn't possible. Download the COVID-19 ALERT App.

Personally, I'll also be avoid indoor dining in Halifax for a little while until cases can start to be linked together/to travel again.

If you're traveling in to the Bubble from outside, please isolate as required. This is critical.

And with that, there are now 51 known, active cases in the Bubble (28 in NB, 18 in NS, 5 in NFLD and 0 in PEI).

5 are in hospital (none in ICU), all in NB.

Stay safe!
