There were 7 new cases reported in the Bubble today: 3 in New Brunswick, and 2 each in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador.
Both of the new cases in NFLD are travel-related and isolating.
The three new cases in NB are each in separate zones: one each in Fredericton, Saint John, and Moncton. One is travel-related and the other two are still under investigation (from press releases I've seen, I'm still not clear how the origins are distributed by zone).
For the two new cases in NS, both are linked to existing cases (one is linked to the cluster in Clayton Park). Both are still under investigation, so it's possible we'll get some new exposure alerts tonight.
With that, there are now 57 known, active cases in the Bubble.
I've updated my community exposure alert graph to include NB and will try to keep it up to date (and include PEI and NFLD when I find a good source).
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

There were 10 new cases reported: 2 in Nova Scotia and 8 in New Brunswick.
The two cases in Nova Scotia are both related to a previous case. Public Health has just revealed that both of the new cases are students (one at Graham Creighton Junior High and Auburn Drive High.
These are the first students to test positive in NS since schools re-opened.
The two schools are within walking distance of each other, which makes me think that they're part of a household with an existing case, but that's just me speculating.
There were 14 new cases reported in the Bubble today: 6 each in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia and 2 in Newfoundland and Labrador.
PEI hasn't reported yet, as they seem to do so sporadically.
Of the 6 cases in NB, 4 are in the Moncton area (2 are travel-related and 2 are under investigation). The Fredericton and Saint John regions are each reporting one new travel case.
For Nova Scotia, all of the new cases are in Halifax. Although this number of cases is somewhat concerning, a good sign is that there are all known contacts of existing cases.
There were 5 new cases reported in the Bubble today: 3 in Nova Scotia, 1 in New Brunswick, and 1 in Newfoundland and Labrador.
The source of all of these new cases remains under investigation.
All 3 of the new cases in NS are in the Halifax area and show up in the context of a large number of very public exposure alerts and cases of unknown origin.
The NB case is in the Fredericton area, after 3 other cases were listed in recent days. All still being investigated.
Lastly the 1 new case in NFLD is in the Western Zone and is likewise under investigation (I believe this is the first one of that kind for the province in awhile).
There were 9 new cases reported in the Bubble today: 4 in Nova Scotia, 3 in New Brunswick, and 2 in Newfoundland and Labrador.
Of the 4 cases in Nova Scotia, 2 are travel-related and 2 are close contacts of existing cases. Due to the recent uptick in cases in Halifax, I've gone ahead and mapped out the cases that have been listed by public health as under investigation (see image).
Will update as needed
The three new cases in NB are all in the Fredericton area and are under investigation.
The two new cases in NFLD are both travel-related.
Note: there were two new travel cases in PEI that dropped after my daily summary yesterday.
There were 3 new cases in the Bubble today: 1 in New Brunswick and 2 in Nova Scotia.
The case in NB is in the Cambellton area and is under investigation. Yesterday that region transitioned back to Yellow alert after a month of increased restrictions
The two new cases in NS are both in the central zone (Halifax). One is a close contact of an existing case, the other is not. These cases, and the cases announced in recent days, are still under investigation (I think we're up to six, unless someone can correct me).
I've added a line to the graphs to mark the recent cluster(s) of non-travel cases in Halifax, but I may take it out later if it doesn't go anywhere.
Personally, I'll be avoiding in-door dining for awhile in Halifax.
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.
