Today in the #AtlanticBubble

We are in the 2nd wave.

There were 25 new cases in the Bubble today: 4 in Newfoundland and Labrador, 9 in Nova Scotia, and 12 in New Brunswick.

There are currently 266 known, active cases in the Bubble.

There were no new cases reported by PEI today. Testing relating to three recent exposure events on the island haven't returned any positives.

There are currently 2 known, active cases in PEI.

Of the 4 new cases in NFLD, 3 are still under investigation and 1 is a close contact of an existing case.

There are currently 31 known, active cases in NFLD.

All of the 9 new cases in NS are in the Halifax area.

The province reported a record 3,109 tests today, smashing the record set yesterday (2,253) and more than doubling the record before that (1,219).

There are now 119 known, active cases in NS.

Pop-up testing for people in the Halifax area without symptoms is ongoing this weekend in Dartmouth. It seems to be pretty popular.

Lastly, of the 12 new cases in NB today, 7 were in the Saint John area, 3 in Moncton, and 2 in Fredericton. The two cases in Fredericton are travel-related and isolating.

This leaves NB with 114 known, active cases.

Overall, it was a pretty quiet day in the region, so I won't go on too long.

Have a great Friday night.

I'll probably update my post comparing the Atlantic region to the last six weeks of the other provinces tomorrow, if there's any interest.
