Today in the #AtlanticBubble

We are in the in the 2nd wave.

There were 21 new cases in the Bubble today: 1 each in Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador, 3 in New Brunswick, and 16 in Nova Scotia.

Note: my code is mis-calculating active cases since I split to run each province separately. It's not off by much, but I'll update it on Friday.

The one case in PEI is related to travel to Halifax. This has created a number of exposure alerts (you can read about them here: cbc.ca/news/canada/pr…), but it looks like they have the situation under control.

PEI now has 2 known, active cases.

NFLD also has one case. It is a contact of another known case. This leaves NFLD with 25 known, active cases.

NFLD has increased the frequency of their briefings to 3x per week.

Of the 3 new cases in NB today, 2 were in the Saint John area (under investigation), and 1 is in the Bathurst area (travel-related).

Contact tracing seems to be firing on all cylinders there.

NB now has 94 known, active cases.

All of the 16 new cases in NS are in the Halifax area.

Halifax and the surrounding are entering a new period of restrictions for the next two weeks with the hopes of halting case growth.

Currently there are 102 known, active cases in NS.

And with that, there are now 223 known, active cases inside the Bubble.

Remember to continue distancing, wear a mask, download the alert app, and isolate if you think you've been exposed.

Thanks for all the hard work you've put in to keep the region safe.

Have a great night!
