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.

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.

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.

Here is the health-region level cases per capita in NL.

Given that the outbreak has stayed very localized, it will be interesting to see if restrictions become more regional as the province hits the two-week mark of their lockdown.

NB reported 1 new case today in the Edmundston region. They were a close contact of an existing case.

There are now 49 known, active cases in NB.

Here is the updated NB restrictions and case levels map, as well as the health-region level case timeline

Edmundston has finally dropped into the also arbitrary 2.5 cases per 100k.

With any luck, soon I won't have a 'bonus' tweet for NB each day.

NS reported 8 new cases today: 1 travel-related case in the Eastern Zone and 7 cases in the Central Zone (containing Halifax).

Of those 7, 4 were close contacts of existing cases and 3 are still under investigation.

There are now 27 known, active cases in NS.

Here is the breakdown of cases in NS by origin and the health-region level case timeline.

You can see a bit of a deterioration in successful tracing in the last week or so, although overall numbers remain relatively low.

The NS outbreak is now visible on my regional map.

In NS we don't really know how bad off we are yet. The fastest way we can figure that out is to get more people tested faster, and trace the contacts of any cases.

The sooner we know, the sooner we can act and the greater the chance we can act in a more targeted approach.

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

As I said, NS (central) is now visible on the map.

Here is the updated vaccine roll-out animation.

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

Here are the vaccine roll-out metrics.

1st is number number of days since the country as a whole had the same vaccination rate as each province (i.e., how many days behind they are).

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

That's it for tonight's update.

Take care of one another and have a great night.

And go get tested!
