I seemingly briefly lost control of the language centers of my brain while typing out one of the more important tweets of the update. Typical!

I've tweeted a bunch of times that the virus always gets to move first, and we always have to catch up.
There are some untraced cases in NS, currently.

"How bad is it?!?"

We don't know. It's possible we've stumbled across most or all of the cases. Or the province is poking around the edges of a large cluster.

Here's how we find out: Go Get Tested.
The more people that get tested, the faster we'll find a cluster if it exists, and put the issue to rest if it doesn't.

So, take a few minutes to head down to one of the testing sites in your area, and get tested.

Encourage your friends and family to get tested, too.
Here is the updated pandemic timeline for the Atlantic region.
And here is the updated vaccine roll-out animation.
And you can see the usual vaccine roll-out metrics here.

*I'm being a little quick because twitter keeps breaking my threads and this is attempt number 3
That's it for today's update.

Have a great night!

Today in the #AtlanticBubble

There were 19 new cases reported in the region today: 1 in New Brunswick, 8 in Nova Scotia, and 10 in Newfoundland and Labrador.

There are now 414 known, active cases in the Atlantic region. ImageImageImageImage
There was no update in the numbers in PEI today, leaving the province with 3 known, active cases.

The two travel-related cases from yesterday are (unsurprisingly) linked to the Toys R Us exposure notice, suggesting breach of isolation. Cases forwarded to enforcement. ImageImageImage
NL reported 10 new cases today, all in the Eastern health region.

There are no presumptive cases awaiting confirmation.

There are now 335 known, active cases in NL. ImageImageImageImage

Hey Nova Scotia!

For the first time in months there are some untraced cases of COVID-19 in the province.

This raises the possibility that there is a cluster out there that hasn't been found yet. The sooner it's found, the easier it will be to contain.
Here's what you can do to help:

Go get tested in the next few days, and encourage others to do the same.

If you don't have any symptoms, you can book an appointment or check out the upcoming pop-up testing sites: nshealth.ca/asymptomatic-c…
If you do have symptoms, you can get assessed and arrange for testing here: covid-self-assessment.novascotia.ca/en/TestingRequ…

If you're in one of the areas with untraced cases (Annapolis Valley and Sackville), consider dialing down on indoor gatherings for the next couple of weeks.

Don't panic.

There were 68 new cases in the region today: 1 in Nova Scotia, 14 in New Brunswick, and 53 in Newfoundland and Labrador.

There are now 298 known, active cases in the Atlantic region.
PEI didn't update their numbers today, leaving them with 4 known,, active cases.
NL reported 53 new cases today, all in the province's Eastern region (i.e., the area including St. John's). This is the highest single-day case count for the province so far.

~18% of the cases that have ever been reported in NL have been in the last 3 days.

And they'll be OK.
