Today in the #AtlanticBubble

There were 18 new cases in the region today: 3 in Nova Scotia and 15 in Newfoundland and Labrador.

There are now 468 known active cases in the Atlantic region - less than there was a week ago.

PEI reported no new cases today (the only correct number to report).

There is now only 1 know, active cases in PEI.

NL reported 15 new cases today, all the the Eastern health region.

There are no presumptive cases awaiting confirmation.

There are now 372 known, active cases in NL.

Here is a look at each of the health regions in NL.

The trend line went up a bit despite seemingly good numbers the last couple days because Monday and Tuesday last week were even lower.

But if the numbers are this low for a couple more days, it should be cut roughly in half.

NB reported zero new cases today, the only correct number to report.

There are now 75 known, active cases in NB.

Edmundston continues to test how close it can get to falling out of >5 per 100k bin without actually doing so. Maybe tomorrow.

But overall NB is doing quite well.

NS reported 3 new cases: 1 under investigation in the Western Zone, and 2 in the Halifax area (1 travel related and 1 a close contact of an existing case).

There are now 20 known, active cases in NS.

"Another case under investigation in the Western Zone?!?" you say?

Yes. There's been a noticeable uptick in untraced cases (at the time of reporting) in NS and slightly clustered in the Western Zone.

A question following up on this at the next presser would be appropriate.

But to be clear my concern level has shifted from 0.5 to 1 out of 10, where 0 is "There is no pandemic" and 10 is "We've completely lost control of the situation"

Just a request for more information.

Here is the updated timeline for the Atlantic region and the surrounding area.

You can compare each of the provincial and territorial vaccine roll-outs in this animation.

The top/solid line is doses distributed to the jurisdiction, the bottom/dashed line is doses administered, and the shaded area between is doses in storage. All per capita.

And here are the vaccine roll-out metrics.

1st is how many days ago the country as a whole had the vaccination rate each province has today (i.e., how many days behind they are).

2nd is estimated days of of doses left, based on recent usage rates.

That's it for tonight's update.

Take care of one another and enjoy the rest of your Tuesday!
