15 new cases were reported in the region today: 1 in each PEI and Newfoundland and Labrador, 3 in Nova Scotia, and 10 in New Brunswick.
8/15 were traced at time of reporting (oof).
There are now 182 known, active cases in Atlantic Canada.
PEI reported 1 new case, a close contact of an existing case.
There are now 13 known, active cases in PEI.
NL reported 1 new travel-related case in the Central health region.
There are now 4 known, active cases in NL.
NB reported 10 new cases today: 1 travel-related case in the Moncton area and 9 in the Edmundston area (3 close contacts of existing cases and 6 still under investigation).
There are now 141 known, active cases in NB.
Updated restrictions and case levels map as well as health region level timeline with the Edmundston area emphasized.
Edmundston is about a week into it's latest outbreak. The trend line is starting to come down.
Hoping it's resolved by this time next week (speculative).
NS reported 3 new cases today: 1 travel-related in the province's Western zone and 2 in the Halifax area (1 related to travel and 1 close contact of an existing case).
There are now 24 known, active cases in NS.
Here's the updated pandemic timeline for the Atlantic region and surrounding areas, with each tick being a week since the first week of March 2020.
Provincial and Territorial Vaccine Roll-Out
Top of the ribbon is doses distributed, bottom is doses administered.
The higher the ribbon goes, the more people are being vaccinated. The wider it gets, the more doses sit unused.
National ribbon outlined in black.
Vaccine Roll-Out Metrics
1st graph is percent of distributed doses that have been used.
2nd graph shows how many days since each province had enough doses to cover their current usage.
3rd graph shows percent of eligible population that is newly vaccinated each day
This animation shows each province's vaccination pace as a percent of the pace they need to each 80% first dose coverage by the end of June (based on how many they have already vaccinated and how much time is left).
Older data becomes less visible over time.
The percent of the eligible population covered by at least one dose is going up pretty quickly.
% eligible with at least one dose / % eligible that can get a first dose with what's in storage right now:
BC: 15.2% / 5.1%
AB: 14.9% / 1.7%
SK: 16.5% / 0.0%
MB: 11.4% / 5.8%
ON: 15.0% / 1.3%
QC: 18.8% / 4.2%
NB: 12.4% / 4.2%
NS: 8.8% / 6.5%
NL: 13.1% / 3.6%
PEI: 11.5% / 4.1%
That's it for tonight's update.
Data reporting by the provinces may be spotty over the weekend, so I'm not sure there will be a report until Monday.
Tomorrow I'll be doing a thread summarizing all the Canadian provinces/territories at the health region level...
...and on Saturday I'll do my usual US/Canada comparisons, assuming the data isn't completely broken.
Have a great rest of the night!

NB reported 9 new cases today: 2 in Saint John (both still under investigation) and 7 in Edmundston (5 close contacts of existing cases and 2 under investigation).
Maine is becoming a dumpster fire again, so mass testing in communities along the border is prudent.
153 active.
Not to leave out Quebec, which is also becoming a dumpster fire.
Actually I can do the map manually.
Testing along the border would be great, I say to no one in particular.
The Great Big Canadian Pandemic Summary Thread (as promised)
Some of us are heading into a 3rd wave of the pandemic, so I though a recap of where we've all been might be worthwhile.
The first part is going to summarize each province at the health-region level...
For all the graphs, I have the national range in the background in grey: the bottom is the lowest per capita rate by any health region and the top is the highest per capita rate.
So everything will be visible on the same scale.
Examples:
For the cumulative graphs, I've tinkered with the size of the lines so that health regions that make up a larger share of their province's population will be larger/more prominent, although not quite to scale.
The 2nd part will look at how much population matters in a pandemic.
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.
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.
